An Alchemist can obtain a [Tumor Familiar](http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/alchemist/discoveries/paizo---alchemist-discoveries/tumor-familiar-ex). There's also the feat [Improved Familiar](http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/improved-familiar), which is accompanied by a table which lists **Arcane Spellcaster Level** in one of the columns and has the prerequisite:

> Prerequisites: Ability to acquire a new familiar, compatible alignment, **sufficiently high level (see below).**

Can the alchemist class fulfill the sufficiently high level prerequisite and take Improved Familiar?
