I don't think there's any real lore on any of that sort of stuff - so it's left up a lot to fanon. Though, I do believe there is an NPC Miqo'te who purrs when talking about... Raubahn or something? Being generally feisty. Though whether it's actual Miqo'te purring or a simulated thing is left open to debate. Hissing I don't know much about either, so that's also an up in the air thing.
... And I think some of the races have been noted to having better senses than the others. I think Miqo'te do have a better sense of smell - but don't quote me on that - and the race with the best hearing, oddly enough, are the Lalafell.
Tail motions I do see a lot of folks doing, as well as ear positions, which both make sense in the most basic form. They're part of the body for Miqo'te, so obviously they'll be part of their body language. However, the extra sleeping time and the pheromones thing might be going a bit to far in the cat direction. That said, there's normal people that like a lot of sleep... so your character could just like sleep as a person rather than attributing it to race.
I think that about covers that. I'm sure someone with actual quotes and references will swoop in here at some point with more solidified information at some point. Likely Sounsyy, who plays a Miqo'te and is our resident Loremaster.
