There is no real scientific name for the calico cat, all cats are grouped under Felis catus.

Because two unrelated calico cats can have as much genetic similarity as a Persian and a Siamese, there is no scientific way of grouping them.

Calico is a coat colour, not a breed of cat.

All domestic cats, no matter what the breed, fall under the genus of Felis Catus, which is the Scientific name for the domestic cat.
