Anyone Know What This Critter Is?

A Thai vet told me it was a Sueu Plaa, translates as "Tiger fish. It looks quite similar to a racoon. Anyone know the English name?

I found it early in the morning, I presume killed by my cats. It's throat had been mauled. Beautiful creature.

It looks like a Civet Cat. There are still a few around. Unfortunately the Thais kill and eat them.
