Familiars skills questions

[Ambrus]

I'm stating up my character's familiar and was wondering how the new Pathfinder skill rules impacts its skill bonuses.

If a familiar gains the same ranks in a skill as its master are its master's class skills likewise added to its own class skills? That is to say, does the familiar get the +3 bonus for having ranks in those skills that are its master's class skills or only if those skill happen to be among the animal's own class skills?

Also, since most animals lose out on the skill points derived from their racial hit dice due to their low Intelligence, might the familiar gain those lost racial skill points once its intelligence increases due to it becoming a familiar? If so, how should those skill points be assigned?

Hope my questions are clear enough.

Anybody have a clue?

For the first, my read is that familiars do not get their master's class skill bonuses.

For the second, PF has made the INT bonus to skills retroactive (like the CON bonus to HP). That comes from a statement made by (I think) James Jacobs in the PF forums - I've read the actual post, but can't provide you with a link; sorry.
