“Very plentiful. Appears to occasionally cross with the 
domestic cat. 
“The domestic cats in Java almost invariably have distorted 
tails, which are either stunted or have the appearance of being 
disjointed, often in several places, the end being sometimes almost 
at right angles with the base; very few, except recently imported 
individuals, possess perfect tails.”—G. C. 8.

“Very plentiful. It is curious that so many of the native 
mammals in Java, especially the small carnivores, abound in the 
densely populated districts. Viverricula, Paradoxurus, Mungos, 
Felis javanensis, etc., seem to have entirely adapted themselves to 
an artificial, almost semi-domestic life, existing in abnormal 
numbers around towns and native villages, where they probably 
live almost exclusively on the swarms of house-rats and poultry 
that are always in such numbers in the vicinity of houses. 
Viverricula is often kept alive, or hunted for by the natives, who 
collect its civet either as a perfume or for flavouring their tobacco. 
“Tt is astonishing how many even of the carnivorous mammals 
of Java are partly frugivorous. In fact, there are few, if any, 
mammals of any kind there that will not feed on bananas.’—
