China is the origin of civets. It belongs to the natural cat, because it has been preserved through the natural elimination of many varieties for thousands of years, and the most famous one is the "maharaja civet cat". This is also the earliest record of civet cats that can be found. So civet cats have such an English name Dragon-Li, which was awarded by CAA Cat Association. It is popular because it has beautiful fur (also called flower cat), is healthy, is particularly easy to feed, and is very good at catching mice.
