Thieves in the garden.

There was a loud thud on the ground near me. One of my mangoes must have fallen, I thought, as I peered into the darkness. I heard leaves rustling above and, looking up saw something leap between the branches. It was too big to be a squirrel. Then it climbed up the utility pole. Against the dimming light, I could make out some animal which looked like a cat. I've never seen a cat climb up a utility pole and wondered if my eyes were deceiving me. 

It's tail was long and thin.

A civet cat, perhaps?
