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. The common palm civet is a medium sized land mammal, family Viverridae. It is also known as the Asian palm civet [Paradoxurus hermaphroditus]. Yes, it is the one from which is derived Kopi Luwak.
Oddly enough, this was a difficult answer to find. I had to work backwards from what I thought it would be [and was correct, a baby civet is called a kitten]. On the other hand, the best information I found about baby civets called them just that: baby civets. I am going to link that wonderful page but I will also add that you now have what seems to be a professional choice, made by professionals in the field. You can call a baby civet a civet kitten or you can call it a baby civet. After seeing the linked page, I know what I would choose.
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.
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.
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 the relationship between a civet and a chicken? A civet is a smallish wild cat, so it would eat a chicken. The chicken is a prey animal and an omnivore and the civet is a carnivore and a hunter/killer.
