I'm in the SW corner of MO. Old timers here call them Civet Cats. Used to trap them. I've never saw 1 here and I'm 33. Vanished like quail, jack rabbits, and beaver. Civet cat down in this neck of the woods is a spotted skunk.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
