A civet is a lovely medium sized mammal of the family Viverridae. There are several different genera and more than several different species. Each looks something like a cat with a smidgen of, say, an ermine or ferret mixed in along with a little bit of lemur. As such--and as is common to all mammals--unless there has been some sort of untoward accident, a civet has four legs.

What is a baby civet called?

Oh, dude, a baby civet is called a "kitten." Yeah, just like those adorable little fluff balls that meow and knock stuff off your shelves. So, next time you see a baby civet, you can be like, "Hey, look at that cute kitten!" Just make sure you don't mix them up with actual kittens, unless you're into exotic pets, I guess.


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.

Oh dear. Since I think this response is to the same person who asked me if civets have hooves [no], I guess I better start from the beginning.
