The scientific name of the civet cat is dependent upon the genera and species of civet. There are many. Almost all civets are grouped beneath the family Viverridae with the African Palm Civet the lone member of the family Nandiniidae. Civets' genera and species names, however, are multiple. For example, the masked palm civet's binomial name is Paguma larvata while the binomial name of the African civet [not the African palm civet] is Civettictis civetta.

If you need the scientific name of a specific species of civet cat, it is easy to look up civets and go from there.

Feral cats are Domestic cats that are not used to humans and often live outside. Seeing as these still come under the Domestic Cat species, their Scientific name is Felis catus.
