I'm laughing at all the people going "Regular grooming should solve the problem"
And as someone with 6 cats and has had others (that recently died from age)... Not necessarily.... but it also can depend on the time of year also....
But people shed hair too and sometimes even a lot of it. I lived on my own for awhile in an apartment with a carpet and holy shit did I keep pulling up so much of my own hair from it every week and sweeping it up from the bathroom. Part of the problem may have been health issues too, but point is it was a lot of shedding.
And then I have one cat that hardly ever sheds unless stressed, some that for whatever reason shed a ton in the winter but not so much summer (and all you have to do is run a hand down his back and you'll pull free a fair sized hairballs worth of hair and have your hand covered in it), one that sheds all year round and I swear to god no matter how much you brush him you're going to end up with giant hair balls.
Now that it's spring too we're trying to keep them well brushed/combed (because sometimes combs and brushes don't work as well as specialized combs made to pull up everything loose) because of the shedding, but one of them we have tried combing/brushing him multiple times through the day for 3 days, like every other hour or so-ish, and every time we end up with a fist sized ball of hair. And he's a short hair. Even weirder is he's a black cat but all the shit we pull off is white or grey and it's the weirdest shit like it isn't even his. We have no clue where all this hair is coming from but gotta be some kind of undercoat that's not really noticeable, and he's still got so much loose hair that comes up even just petting him... So much of the hair comes off the tail too and it's just amazing how much shit I pull off just from the tail alone.
So really can depend on the Miqo'te and if you want to deal with their hair being more like human hair (which still sheds but differently than a cats), or can go with multiple different things for how cats can shed. Long hair doesn't necessarily mean a problem shedder (and in my experience it's the frickin' short haired ones that have the biggest issues, especially the ones I've had with the coarser/thicker short hair verses the soft, finer thin. Biggest problem I've had with the long hairs are that their hair has more issues with static during brushing/combing/petting and is more likely to cling to everything and be harder to remove from yourself or anything it attaches to), and could go with it's a major maintenance issues for your character or a minor issue that is mostly ignored.
