>>44036289Eevee is based on some furry animal the original designer said he once witnessed when he was out walking in a forest. He described eevee to be a 'fluffy cat' and 'dog-like.' Foxes were not mentioned, so the very known theory that Eevee was based on fennec foxes has been debunked.
Although since Nishida took over, she hasn't been very subtle with making them more cat-like lol, but it's all good because kots are good. Sylveon's an exception though, since it references the moon rabbit myth.
