I knew a fellow here (a fellow with some problems) who considered himself a friend to all troubled animals. He once adopted a young civet cat, a creature which resembles a cross between a cat, a monkey, and a raccoon. It shared his bed (as I said, he was strange) and he ended up infested with a rather unpleasant type of skin mites. Doctors were baffled; he ended up having to go to a vet for a diagnosis. I did not sleep with the raccoon. It used to ride around on my shoulder, though. I used it rather shamelessly as a device to start conversations with girls; I recall once succeeding in this goal, only to have the raccoon drop a load of poop down my back about two minutes into the conversation. Did not achieve the desired goal. I would agree that they make rather demanding pets.
