I learned about this coffee when I was in Indonesia. I stayed with an Indonesian family and they are trying to ban the luwak coffee because they keep the civets in cages and force feed them by shoving tubes down their gullets, like they do with chickens over here. People need to know the cruelty that goes on with this practice. What people will do for money is disgusting.
Ok, a couple of ideas for getting closer to grease monkey. When you set the food out, put it on top of an old t-shirt you’ve warn around and sweat in. That way he will associate your scent with food. You might need more than one shirt if it rains and loses scent over time. Also, you can try a laser pointer for playing and guiding him closer to you. Go at a slower pace as you draw him closer and closer. This will only work at dusk when it’s darker outside. Lots of cats love these things! He/she is adorable and already starting to feel more comfortable with you. That’s great! You’re making gains.
We always catfish with our kitties, toy fishing pole with a catnip toy as a lure on the end of the line. I also will sit near their hiding spot and read outloud so they get used to me and my voice. 😸
Ole Dammegard. Level up, brother! Love your podcasts. Thank you.
Thanks, Ken!

I wondered if something like that was going on because it's just too much money to make it this. Damn. Good and important to know! Thank you, Velvet.
