Title: What happened on 2-1-14?
Post by: billythekidrock on February 17, 2014, 11:40:11 AM: No real activity for months before this date and then all kinds of critters show up on the same day. Unfortunately no cats.

I didn't realize we had civet cats in this area. I've seen almost everything but in all the years I've spent out there I've never seen a civet cat.

That is crazy that everything moved on that day...

So, where did you see them call it a civet cat? The only reference I know of civet cats is from Africa... I know my dad and his buddies always called the spotted skunk a "polecat"... no idea why.

I first heard it from my father in the late 70's when he was trapping. Have always called them that since. Most recently I read it on WDFW at the link I posted above.

Type "Civet Cat" into Google and you will get Asian and African images.
