They squeak when young, but can bark, scream, and snarl in adulthood.
When threatened or fighting, the Ringtail screams and secretes a foul-smelling fluid from the anal glands, earning it the name "Civet Cat." This is an allusion to the African carnivore Civettictis civetta, which produces a musky substance called civet that is used in perfumes.
The name "Cacomistle" derives from tlacomiztli, which in the language of Mexico’s Nahuatl Indians means "half mountain lion." Better mousers than house cats, Ringtails were once placed in frontier mines to control rodents; hence the name "Miner’s Cat." The chief predators of this animal are the Bobcat and the great horned owl.
