Mongoose kin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

civet

'mongoose kin' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for civet that I've seen before include "Cat; scent" , "Wild cat; perfume" , "fur" , "Catlike mammal secreting musk used in perfumes" , "Cat-like mammal which secrets musk used in perfumes" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
