First of all, Cynadquil's Japanese name = Hinoarashi, which is a play on words that means fire + storm + porcupine. It's a porcupine.
Second of all, the "fire mouse" is not saying that Cyndaquil is a mouse, but that it's like the fire mouse from the Kaguya story. The fire mouse in the Kaguya story has fur that can't be burnt, just like the Cyndaquil line has fur that can't be burned.
Kaguya story that talks about the mouse with heatproof fur

>This Pokémon is fully covered by nonflammable fur. It can withstand any kind of fire attack.>"hurr durr if it's like the fire mouse then it must be a literal mouse"No you retards, just like Quilava and Typhlosion aren't actual volcanos, they just produce the power of volcanos. In that same vein, Cyndaquil is a porcupine with the capabilities of a fire mouse.
