What do you get from civet cat?
Unfortunately there are two items that are created from use of the civet cat. Fortunately, only one of these can be considered inhumanely harvested--and that use is being eliminated as the chemical received can now be synthetically synthesized. Civets are the source for one of the oldest components of perfume known. This would be a musklike substance called civetone. And this would also be the use of civets that is, thankfully, being eliminated. On the other hand, what brings the civet its current fame is its use in coffee production. For this, however, the civet needs only eat and digest the fruit of the coffee plant. What is harvested is not a part of the animal's body--just the coffee beans that remain post-digestion.

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.
