Strong leg muscles, stamina, climbing, running, and swimming are established.
Miqo'te also have heightened olfactory senses, claiming the most sensitive noses of the Five Races. While this could support pheromones, it's still headcanon at this point and I doubt there are Miqo'te dropping their pants to spray their territory...
Hissing and purring is canon. As well as new lore on the ancestral Miqo'te language, "Huntspeak," which uses a series of clicks, chirps, and hisses to communicate.
Beyond that, most Miqo'te roleplayers I know (myself included) utilize common tail and ear motions for emotion and expression. As for the other things, head booping, gaze aversion, and sleeping 20 hours a day... things that aren't in the lore, but would make funny character quirks.
More lore on Miqo'te has been compiled in the Racial Lore Background thread.

Miqo'te are known to be very territorial, and many individuals tend to lead solitary lifestyles, particularly males. The few Miqo'te who have made the transition to life in Eorzean society are predominantly female.

Encyclopedia Eorzea Wrote:Despite their inherently solitary nature, the Miqo'te adopted the common tongue early on, born of a need to barter with other races to procure materials with which to craft their hunting tools and weapons. Remnants of the old tongue can be observed in the distinctive Miqo'te "huntspeak" - a system of tongue-clicks and whistles used to communicate with companions while in pursuit of quarry.
