	Civet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Civet cat is an imprecise term that is used for a variety of cat-like creatures such as the North American Civet Cat (Bassariscus astutus) or Ringtail, related to the racoon; the musk-producing African Civet Cat (Civettictis civetta); Asian Leopard Cat (Felis bengalensis - a true cat) and African Wildcat (Felis libyca - a true cat).
		Civets are omnivorous, supplementing a meat diet (both hunted and scavenged) with fruit, eggs, fish, insects, and possibly roots.
		Civet is used to refer to the musk they produce, as well as the animals themselves: it is used in small quantities in some perfumes.
