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..."
