I shouldn't be surprised by the diversity of opinions. Its great to read everyone's take on the subject.
I was going to wait longer before giving my opinion on the matter because I didn't want to influence other peoples answers, but with so many opinions set forth already, I hardly think that will happen now.
So, with Kiht, I fully express her ears and tail in a cat-like fashion; if I remember they are there I haven't purred with her yet, but I have considered it because I think it might be funny if she let off something that sounds like a purr then suddenly tries to hide the fact that she made it. Not sure if I'd do that yet. I gave her a cat-like curiosity and feistyness. And she will certainly hiss when threatened.
She would bare her Keeper fangs if angry enough, but that is hardly exclusive to cats. Many animals with teeth do that. I've seen humans do it too. She is mostly carnivorous, and has cat-like grace/agility. I also keep her powerful sense of smell in mind.
On the other hand, she wouldn't meow, roll her Rs (too lazy for that), nor would she put any "nyans" in her sentences. As for her reactions to physical contact, I don't know yet. I'll have to consider that.
Looking forward to reading more responses from people.
