Palm civets are reasonably small, extremely cute members of the family viverridae. This is a small and primitive family of carnivorous and omnivorous animals, made up of somewhat catlike, somewhat lemurlike civets and binturongs and genets and other mammals of similar nature. Among them, the common or Asian palm civet is an omnivore, one who eats mainly fruit. Along with mangos and rambutan and others, as you may know, the palm civet is a fan of coffee. From this we get Kopi Luwak [which I think may be the crux of your question]. As the palm civet is primarily, but not entirely, a vegetarian, Kopi Luwak is probably an iffy buy for someone who does not eat meat. I hope I have answered your question. I think so.
They eat little animal such as lizard or birds.
