Aren't they closer to ferrets then kittens?

They are cats! Does it matter? Somebody find a picture!

SARS - mysterious lethal disease whose appearance is attributed to a virus spontaneously "jumping" from one species to another

I need to not be so paranoid.

From factmonster.com: "Civets are not true cats, but the civet family is related to the cat family (Felidae)."

Glad to see the old prejudices sitll going strong.

What 'prejudice?' They eat cats and that's how the experts are thinking the disease was transmitted, from raising the animals and handling the meat. Whether they should or shouldn't eat civets isn't my business, true, but the facts are the facts, is all I'm saying.

I for one am massively impressed by the way knowledge and research data about this disease has travelled through the international medical community. I think the way this has been handled by the WHO etc. is nothing short of amazing, really. Look at where we years ago with regard to similar new illnesses. Like Wow.

Im still a bit piss about the travel advisory.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 23 May 2003 19:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's the gleeful dissmenination of the 'facts' that is distasteful.

oh, okay
