Is a African Civet a cat?
A civet is a mammal which is somewhat like a weasel, and despite the name, it is not actually a cat at all. Some people eat them, while some keep them as pets. Some coffee growers use them to create a unique blend of coffee. They let them eat Arabica coffee "cherries" and then collect the coffee beans from their excrement. The coffee beans are completely cleaned and then roasted. Aficionados claim that the digestive process of the civet cats removes some of the bitterness and makes the coffee smoother. However, such coffee goes for at least $20 a cup, and critics say it is actually bad coffee and only sells for the novelty value.

What is the contribution of the civet cat to coffee?
The contribution of the civet cat to coffee is unlike virtually every other contribution of every other animal known to humankind. In fact, it is what could be considered antithetical to most other contributions. The civet cat is the only mammal of which I am aware whose contribution to civilization lies within that which it cannot help but produce, and this daily.Specifically, one of the main components of the Asian Palm Civet's diet is coffee in its cherry form. The civet does with the coffee what any mammal does with one of the main components of its diet [it eats it], after which what happens to that component is what happens to any of the main components of anyone's diet after they've been eaten [it is digested, it leaves the body of the animal]. After the coffee has left the animal's body it is then, and only then, harvested to be made into the coffee known as Kopi Luwak--which is the most expensive coffee in the world.
