From Bulbapedia: Eevee shares traits with foxes , more specifically the fennec fox , dogs and cats . It is possibly based on the folklore of Tanuki (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the Japanese raccoon dog .
Eevee's cat like behavior can be explained through this site: www.psu.edu/dept/nkbiology/natβ¦
"The red fox is called the "cat-like" canine. Although quite obviously a member of the dog and wolf family of predators with overwhelming anatomical and behavior similarities to other canine species, the red fox's long, very thin canine teeth and its ventrally slit pupils with their well developed tapetum lucidum are extremely obvious cat-like features. These anatomical "cat-like" characteristics are accentuated by the fox's slinking, "mousing" hunting behaviors, and by its use of its sensitive front paws to capture and pin prey. Also, the red fox's sustained, piercing bite to effect a prey kill (as compared to the bite and shake killing method of most other canines) are remarkably cat-like in nature. The eye features unquestionally have evolved because of the nocturnal hunting behaviors of the fox. The teeth, use of paws to catch and pin prey and specific stalking behaviors are evolutionary strategies that are most efficient in the capture of small prey items like mice and voles. The "cat-like' nature of the red fox, then, is most logically due to the similarity of prey items and activity times that many cats and the red foxes share. One other cat-like behavior, though, that is not so easily explained is the lateral threat display used by foxes in aggressive displays (stand sideways, back arched, fur erect etc). This very classic "cat pose" seems out of place in the behavioral display of a canine."
Foxes do not behave like a typical canine but rather as a product of convergent evolution as vulpine and feline tend to share the same niche when hunting prey.
Perhaps Eevee and its evolutions could be based on convergent evolution between fox and cat.

Actually,Eevee is not a fox pokemon it has the head of a rabbit and the body of a fox.Β
So, Eevee is a fabbit rabbit/fox hybrid.

It's actually based on a norwegian forest cat (the fur part around the neck and the tail at least)
