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.
