(Umbran) proposed that you could run a campaign in which the players PCs are all animals that we would normally consider to be supporting NPCs- familiars, animal companions, special mounts, etc.
One of their number is "The Annointed One" and they have all been called to gather around these humanoids in order to achieve their goals. Essentially, the humans become the companions.

He's still young, and doesn't know it yet, but the kitten is actually The Golden Cat, a prophesied cat hero who has his own quest, and will save the world for all catkind. There will be a string of events throughout the campaign that the party will thoroughly misunderstand, where the cat's adventures impinge upon the human world.
Just like a human hero, along the way he'll pick up his own companions that start showing up and hanging around (these may include any mounts or Animal Companions the PCs may have - they think they have Human Companions...). You get the idea. One always talks about how the PCs are not the only adventuring party in the game world, right? Well, in a magical world, why do they all have to be human?
Read Tad Williams' Tailchaser's Song, or Gabriel King's The Wild Road and The Golden Cat for references.
