They call them civet-cats because cats are what they most resemble, even though they belong to a slightly different family and genus from felidae.

I'd watch out for the civet-cat coffee (not that anyone can afford it anyway). Those animals are the ones that have been associated with the SARS virus! Yet another reason to drink Diet Coke. . . .
