>>57748783there are cat relatives like hyenas and the aardwolf that evolved to be "doglike" and vice versa on the other side of the clade. superficial traits more often than not have nothing to do with actual lineage. and further still dogs are only one subset of caniforms and foxes despite being relatively closely related have little behavoral overlap.
there is no actual dog cat dichotomy. umreon is more fox than cat and really comes closest to being a rabbit with fox proportions.
