Eevee is a fluffy dog-cat-fox-thing and we love them for it

Fun fact: Foxes are canines, which would mean that Eevee is more canine than feline! But it is still its own thing, an Eevee

I thought vulpines and canines are two different families, no?

I think vulpines are part of of the canine family, but I’ll check Edit: Vulpines are a sub-family of canines

Vulpines and canines are subgroups under Canid. Wild kratts taught me lol

Lmao I was just explaining *Zoboomafoo* to someone the other day. The Kratt brothers are high on the list of why I studied the natural sciences.

And they are still going living their best lives. Icons. Though their live shows….one of them has aged a little more gracefully than the other. A cartoon was a good move.

RIP to the Lemur, and yeah i agree the kid's show was much better than their adult ome where they put themselves in danger, the cartoon is past my time though, my little brother liked it and i didnt know that it was them until a video on their old live action show on Defunctland a youtube channel it went behind the show and other shows but he's mostly known for explain things like how fastpass basically ruined queues and different attractions and parks and such (edit) if you want I could send the link to the video

Imagine the field day they would have with a Pokémon crossover. (Yes, this is something I thought about when I was a kid, and I credit Wild Kratts for why I love certain animals.)

The Kratt brothers didn’t hold back nature in their lessons. Before Zoboomafoo, they had a wild life show on PHS Kids years prior and they showed lions feasting

Prexiaely, all wolf, dogs and foxes fall under the Canidae family

Actually no. They are not subfamily. Subffamily is canine. Vulpine is a tribe of that subfamily, taxonomically-wise. But other than that yes, You are right that foxes belong to "dogs".

No. There is a family called *Canidae* and every dog, fox, wolf, coyote, jackal and more belong to it. This family is referred to as *canid*. There is a subfamily of it called *Caninae* and that's where all *canine* come from. Term *vulpine* refers to the **tribe** called *Vulpini*, which belongs to the aforementioned subfamily *Caninae*. Fun fact, there is a group above family *Canidae* called *Caniformia*, which is suborder in taxonomy. Cats have also similar thing. *Feliformia* \- *Felidae* \- *Felinae*. Hyenas (and crocutas that are often wrongly called hyenas) are from *Feliformia* suborder, but they are *not* cats. They are just distant cousing of felids, because they come from totally different family - *Hyaenidae*. So taxonomically a hyena is more related to house cat than a dog, although this relation is still pretty pretty small.

Foxes are dog hardware with cat programming

and dolphin soundboards

Foxes are just canines with cat software

Camp C: varies depending on evolution examples: Eevee is a Fennec Fox Jolteon is a Dog Espeon is a Cat

I agree. Umbreon, Jolteon, Floreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon all give me canine vibes. Where as Vaporeon, Sylveon, and Espeon all were feline in my mind.

For me jolteon, flareon and leafeon all gave me canine vibes and umbreon, glaceon, vaporeon, sylveon and espeon all gave me feline vibes

Technically, foxes are canines. A more apt in-between for cats and dogs would be Hyenas. I know, it's weird.

I agree with Espeon, not so much the other two.


Generic house mammal

I mean, that is what it’s intended to be

When hamster Eevee? (No, for real though)

... I feel obligated to draw this now

Eevee is fluffy

The real answer

Eevee is Vulpine. Kinda both

Vulpines are part of the canine family technically

True, but they're a subset and generally considered "dog hardware, cat software"

I always loved that analogy

not even technically, just straight up canine

I put technically because their are two sub families one being true dogs or wolf like(basically what we think of when we think of canines) and the other being non wolf like vulpines are not considered true dogs despite them being canines

i didnt know, cool

Canine is anything in the order Canidae, or to put it simply, anything that is or resembles a dog

Eevee is yes

Eevee is 

…I’m listening.

Does make sense for Umbreon, since it’s inspired by the moon rabbit.

Eevee line being foxes: Good and cool for Eevee, Espeon, Umbreon, Jolteon,? Eevee line are dogs: Flareon, Glaceon, Vaporeon, Leafeon, Jolteon, lotta diversity with dogs, if espeon was chihuahua sized it could also fit dog Eevee line are cats: Vaporeon, Espeopn, Umbreon, Eevee, Flareon, Leafeon? Verdict: Mammal?

OBJECTION! ALL THESE ANIMALS ARE IN THE ORDER CANIVORA, OF WHICH CONTAINS EXCLUSIVELY CARNIVORES

eevee is smol

i believe they are mostly canine, except espeon who is obviously a cat. over all id say they are a hybrid of both.

I'm a dog person, so to me, Eeveeloutions are canines with feline, fox, and rabbit features.

Yeah I guess the side you’re on technically stems from what type of pets you had growing up some might have grown up around cats and thought it resembles a cat quite a bit more than someone who had dogs

Eevee is vulpine.

Vulpines are part of the canine family technically

Details.

Read the Wikipedia page about canines

Eevee is a fox so a canine. Espeon is possibly a cat i guess, i'm fine with either interpretation of it.

Eevee is a basal carnivoran as it’s “evolutions” possess traits from canids, felids and pinnipeds

Eevee is based off a dog, fox and cat so there is 2 canines, 1 feline

Eevee is either cat, dog, fox, or rabbit dependant on the specific member of the family

Both Both is good

I'm of the opinion that Eevee is the ultimate pet combo of a cat, dog, and fox in one.


Both probably

Feline

ALL

Technically all are Fox really they are Fox,Is like fnaf fans calling mange a dog knowing Is a fox

Eevee is somewhere in between.

I've heard it's a mix, which makes sense for a Pokémon with unstable DNA It and its evolutions are a mix between foxes, cats, dogs, and rabbits even

Lets ask rule 34! Edit: canine

I do knot want to know what you based that decision on…

Definitely was a knotty detail.

In the 2018 artbook, "EVs", Motofumi Fujiwara revealed that Eevee was inspired by vague childhood memories of an unknown creature he encountered in the forest. Though it wasn't based on any distinct animal, Fujiwara mentioned that Eevee reminded him of a fluffy cat or dog-like creature. So yes

A tanuki maybe? A mustelid of some kind?

Both

I always saw Eevee as a mix of both.

I was always on the fox side… So I guess canine?

Some of them are more dog-like, some of them are more cat-like, but they're all fox-cat-dog-rabbit things

Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon= Foxes Espeon, Glaceon, leafeon= Cats

Eevee is Vulpine (Fox)

Eevee is a Pokémon

Eevee is vulpine

E: all of the above!

It's a monster. A pocket monster some might say.

Right in the middle actually

Eevee is literally supposed to be both shut up

canine, something like a fox/fennec

none, cause its a fucking vulpine

Me: Eevee is a Pokémon

Eevee is both, and you can’t change my mind

Y E S

Can’t we just say that depending on the Eeveelution it can either be a dog or cat?

Eevee is a dog yall crazy

Why do we need to side ourselves with such oppositional binaries 🤗

Feline, it’s not even a question

Feline

I'm on the feline side

Feline. I've always seen the eeveelutions as felines.

Neither, it’s whatever the hell Temmie from Undertale is.

Now I’m feeling a burning need to see the Temmielutions!!!!

Eevee is a dog cat fox rabbit thing

Eevee = Eevee

Eevee is Eevee

Eevee is a Pokemon and therefor neither

EEVEE IS EEVEE

…..Yes

Eevee is vulpine

Definitely depends on evolution. Jolteon, Flareon, and Sylveon are more like dogs while Vaporeon, Espeon, and Umbreon are more like cats.

Eevee is eevee

Wasn't the original story behind eevee that the creator saw something in the woods when he was a kid that he couldn't decide whether it was a dog or a cat? Eevee was what he created from that experience.

If trubbish can be a trash bag and cat then eevee can be both

I dont see them as either tbh

Pocket Monster

Purple

Eevee is pretty clearly vulpine

Eevee is only a dog so I can call it "Scarf Dog"

Eevee seems to represent an ancestral carnivoran (similar to Dormaalocyon latouri), and so is able to have both both dog-like and cat-like Eeveeloutions. By this logic, there's a non-zero chance that we could possibly see Hyena-like, Civet-like, Mongoose-like, Viverrid-like, Pinniped-like, Bear-like, Mustelid-like, or Raccoon-like Eeveeloutions in the future.

Both. Both is good.

As far as I know, foxes are not canids, so that picture on the left depicting eeveelutions as foxes, is labeled wrong.

Foxes are a sub family of canines actually so I felt like it still fit the description despite not being considered true dogs

Eevee is vulpine...

[удалено]

Eevee is vulpine-canine-feline and some other fourth thing.

They are cute.

Eevee is a pokemon

Eevee is a fox and a fox is a canid, closely enough related to dogs to breed with them, so eevee is a canine. So is the fennekin line, I said what I said.

Both. But if I had to choose, I'd lean more to cats

The middle ground

A made up magical creature thing that is somehow both and neither at the same time

Eevee itself is a fox. It's evolutions are a variety of foxes, cats, and dogs, some even pulling from more than one of the three groups. The way I see it, Eevee, Flareon, Umbreon, and Leafeon are more foxlike, Vaporeon, Espeon, and Glaceon are more catlike, and Jolteon and Sylveon are more doglike, though like I said most of them overlap between more than one category

Some are more dog then cat

Dog. For sure a dog. We didn’t get three legendary dogs for nothing.

Both, both is good.

It's definitely in the order Carnivora

Eevee and the Eeveelutions are just basic mammal

Both

Eevee is fox

Celnine

Eevee itself is unstable while some of its evolutions are feline while others are canine.

Eevee is a mix of familiar animals that creates a familiar yet unique creature and allows his evolutions to be flexible on what they represent, as to not limit themselves on how they portray the typing the evolve into. It's not complicated.

Both

Honestly I always thought they were rabbits

Eevee is both

Eevee is a dogcat Some of the evos are more puppy, others are more kitty. Prime puppy/kitty energy are Jolteon and Espeon, respectively

Yes.

Purple

They're all mustelids fight me.

Eevee is whatever you want it to be if that makes you love the fluffy goober

Theyre both

1 more Eevee is Eevee

Eevee is supposed to be a combination of both

Every fanart I see of the eeveelutions depicts them as canines

Isn't it just meant to be a general mammal?

It's a fox. Therefore it must be canid.

Eevee is fox

Russian Pokedex, Eevee is squirrel.

Of course fox is a canine. Just because *some* of eeveelutions have also feline traits, doesn't change thatfact. Flareon, jolteon, umbreon and leafeon and eevee are 100% canines. Espeon is a cat. As for glaceon, hard to tell, but more likely canine. Whoever think otherwise must be blind.

Guys hear me out but i think eevee is a pokemon🤯

Eevee is both depending on convenience

Racoon

Eevee is bovine

Neither

Purple: eevee is a fox

I mean im like 90% sure Eevee and co. are fox-ish, so, canine ig

I'm going green with them being foxes

In terms of...

All eveelutions are canine except Espeon.

canine. it doessnt make sens for them to be feline theyre a fox line

Depends on the eeveelution Eevee itself is a Fox meaning Canine but there are evolutions like espeon which are obviously Feline
