I used to believe that wolves were in the dog family, and foxes were in the cat family... and I'm still not too sure I'm that far off, even after 50 years! Think about it: a fox's babies are called "kits", and they sometimes make a sound that's a lot like a meow. Their faces are more cat-like, in my opinion, than dog-like. I think they run a little bit like cats, as well.
