Mystery Solved - OMPH Church Catches A Pair Of ‘Musangs /Civet Cats’

It was the Musang  that had been littering the church not the rat.

In fact it was a pair of Musang’s (civet cats) thus solving the case of the ‘Mysterious Litter’ found at the choir loft, sacristy and other parts of the church.

Fr Joe’ suspicion was confirmed when alerted of the sightings recently. He set a trap using mangoes as bait which he hooked to inside of the large cage.

But the Musang was smart. It took down the fruit then peeled off the skin and ate the fruit leaving behind the empty cage.

Thinking that the cage was old and the trap door was not functioning well Fr Joe bought another cage.

This time he bought ripe mangoes and secured it firmly to the roof of both the cages making sure it triggered the trap door.

It worked. This morning, trapped in the cages were two ‘Musangs’ and by the look of them were well fattened.

A call to PERHILITAN or the Department of Wildlife and National Parks came and took them away thus solving a long standing mystery.
