The scientific name for the common house cat is Felis Catus what is it genus name?

The genus IS Felis. The whole classification is: Kingdom - Animalia; Phylum - Chordata; Class - Mammalia; Order - Carnivora; Suborder - Feliformia; Family - Felidae; Subfamily - Felinae; Genus - Felis. The species below the genus Felis get a little fuzzy - with Felis sylvestris catus being the consensus, but with some usage (archaic, I think) of Felis domesticatus or Felis domesticus catus, and Felis catus ('catus' being italicized). [SEE LINK: > re: where, why, and why not domesticated animals should have that status explicit in the scientific nomenclature of a species. Do multi-generation feral cats lose the nomenclature for being a domesticated species, for example?] The link concludes: "*ANY* designation of a domesticated species is theoretically incorrect..."

What does the genus of an animal mean?

"Genus" comes from a Latin word that means something like "family."It's the first half of the Linnaean binomial taxonomy.So, for example, domestic cats are Felis catus. (The genus name is always capitalized, the species name is always not.) The closely related wildcat is Felis silvestris. The also closely related sand cat is Felis margarita. The somewhat more distantly related lion, while still a felid, is in a different genus, Panthera (specificially, Panthera leo).
