While those Chinese protestors are getting so worked up about Japanese atrocities being left out of the history books and trade imbalance and all that--

Nobody is noticing that the role of cats in the Chinese Communist Party has been completely excised from world history! I bet when you all think of Mao Zedong you all think of a human--instead of

I could be wrong, but dont they eat cats in china?

Dogs too, I think. But when they eat cats it gives them SARS. Unless civet cats aren't real cats.

"The civet is a mostly nocturnal animal, from the Viverridae family, found in Africa, , and the East Indies. It is approximately 17-28 inches in length, excluding its long tail, and weighs about 3 to 10 pounds. Although classified within the Carnivera order, the palm civet of Southern Asia (named because it can be found in palms), is a fruit-eating mammal. Although the Viverridae family is distantly related to the Felidae family of which the common domestic cat is a member, the civet "cat" is not a cat. Indeed, it is more related to the mongoose than to any cat."

So no... its not really a cat...
