What does Foxy mean?
/ˈfɑksi/2 syllables

Foxy is simply the adjective form of "fox," describing someone or something with fox-like cunning, or, in more modern slang, someone considered attractive and stylish. The word has carried both senses in English since at least the 19th century.

Playful and a little sly, Foxy fits a pet with quick instincts and undeniable charisma — the one who always seems to be one step ahead.
