Hyenas aren't genetically feline, they are "genetically" feliform.

Felines are part of the Felidae family

Hyenas are part of the Hyaenidae family

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyena

Both felines and hyenas are of the Feliformia order and they share a common ancestor but that doesn't mean hyenas are felines. Hyenas are more closely related to felines than dogs, but hyenas are not felines.
