Overall, what I have encountered is people playing them more as humans and less as cats, however ears/tail open up for a whole new world of bodylanguage. I tend to give my miqo'tes a trait I've named tell-tale-tail, wherein their mood is usually easily read through their ears and tail if one is savvy on what such means. Eg, ears pinned down against head + puffy tail = Angry, and this is something my miqotes can not control (though it would probably be possible for someone to train themselves not to react). Another thing to note is that Miqo'tes have been described as more agile and maintain better balance than for example a hyur, just from a standard point of view.there are a few charts you can uses.
As for the mix, it's not too special snowflakey, however you should be aware that mixes between the two types of miqote are usually frowned upon. These mixes get either shunned, ridiculed or even killed by their families if it is discovered (not always a given!) that they're a mix of one and the other, and should one make it to adulthood it's likely that there's some people who will still shun them, refuse to deal with/speak to them, etc - all depending on how obvious it is (eg. a really light skinned keeper). I would also say that there'd probably be a risk of mix-genes skipping a generation or two, so if it's minor traits (Like a seeker with sharp fangs, sharp fangs is otherwise a keeper trait) it might not be directly from their parents.

As for the mixed I do Agree the clans are very pure as into they will only take other Keepers or Seekers into there clan and bringing any males or females from other clans is a bit more suspect but having a Seekers in a Keeper clan would be very frowned on and seen as a invasion of the bloodline. The most of the ones that leave the clan or are mixed (Even with a none Miqo'te race like Hyur) I think this ones would generally seek to live in the City states or a village outside them.
