Miqo'te aka catgirls aka nekomimi, and what they refer to in Japanese culture, according to wikipedia (and frankly quite spot on, as far as I know)...

A catgirl is a female character with cat traits, such as cat ears, a cat tail, or other feline characteristics on an otherwise human body. Catgirls are found in various fiction genres and in particular Japanese anime and manga, where they are more commonly referred to as neko (çŒ«, literally cat) or nekomimi (çŒ«è€³, literally cat ear(s)).

Catgirls typically display cat-like behaviors, exhibiting traits such as playfulness, mischievousness and deviousness. Sometimes this may include cat gestures or sounds in written or verbal communications. An often used running gag is that catgirls habitually end their lines of speech with the phrase (ã«ã‚ƒã‚[sup]?[/sup]) nyÄ, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat's meow.

In anime and manga regular humans will sometimes sprout cat ears or a tail in order to illustrate their excitable or playful personalities. This is similar to the phenomenon of becoming chibi. Additionally characters may be portrayed with a catlike mouth to emphasize mischievous thoughts or comments by a character.

In short... not furry! 'Cause furry is straight up anthropomorphic.

I think they're more like sideways...Â
Probably for better all-around and less forward-focused hearing?
They're still cat ears, though!

But I swear that cat's looking at me saying YOU'RE DOING WRONG!

I dunno... Cat ears tend to be very triangular and upward pointing. Miqo'te ears are far more elongated, angle almost straight out from the skull. They actually remind me more of fennec fox ears. Not a perfect match, but closer than actual cat ears for sure.

I made a mow mow, now I can cheer-lead too, cause no one likes my Roegadyn dancing around. Cause, it's like 1800's traditional ball room dancing... but whoa, the jiggle physics are insane on that. I think it was purposely done that way.

Roe are beautiful, don't let anyone tell ya other wise =P

I'm curious what male Roe will be like... guess I'll get a chance to see once my fantasia is up.

I do still enjoy the Miqo cheerleaders though =P

You have a point there...
Besides, Miqo'te aren't really catgirls. Pretty feline of course but Seekers are more lion-likes and Seekers kinda remind me of wolves. Not in their looks but in their.. cultures, I guess.
That's a whole other discussion though. o_O

I'm in this place... Where my mind is suffering to comprehend what I just watched Undecided

Â But I laughed though, then I got confused.
