That is not a Civet Cat..
Thats is a skunk.. It just has different markings..Skunks dont just have a white strip down its back,. they actually come in different markings.

that is what I thought from the look on its face. HOW are you going to get that thing out of there without finding out the hard way its a skunk . . .holy moly . . .

Ummm after you "take care" of it, just one idea high pressure car wash. Good luck, dawn dish soap and hydrogen peroxide.

LOCALLY people here call them civey cats, they are spotted skunks. THere are a few different types of skunks and all have different markings; and within each type the striping varies from animal to animal.

I love the Civey cats!!! they really are not agressive, but will eat eggs or birds. It is one predator that I will tolerate around our farm.

This one - a male was not really ticked off, he was just curious who woke him up.

I wish we would be allowed to raise them! THey are smaller than the striped skunks that we raise now.
