A comparison of synteny (i.e. which bits match up) between various mammalian species' chromosomes can be made using the Chromosome Homology Mapping Atlas at www.chromhome.org (requires Flash).

This includes red fox and cat. In the left hand column select Vulpes vulpes (red fox) as the target species, and Felis catus (cat) as the probe species. Then choose 'chromosome painting'.

I believe the underlying data comes from this paper:

Comparative molecular cytogenetic studies in the order Carnivora: mapping chromosomal rearrangements onto the phylogenetic tree Cytogenet Genome Res. 2002;96(1-4):137-45
