Not sure it's fair to say that those qualities you just described (rubbing against people, hissing, etc.) is in any way, shape, or form playing up to the Miqo'te's "cultural identity." They have cat-like features, but they're not housecats. Feel free to espouse those qualities if you so desire - nobody should be telling you how to play your character - but I also don't want to hear that those who don't "might as well be Hyur." There are many interesting aspects of Miqo'te society, including what players have created for their individual tribes and such, and it's all a lot more involved and interesting than simply "they're cats."
