Throw me in the camp of "If you're going to make some argument about miqo'te being uncatlike, why are you even playing one?" It reminds me of a chick I know who is in some RP with canon characters, and basically destroyed the character's personality and everything established in her lore just to fit her personal view of the character instead. Really kind of irritating.
They're cats. They're not wolves, they're not humans with ears, they're cats. Their emotes are catlike, they have catlike eyes, they have and emote with ears and tail, etc. Anything else is just some kind of weird denial, to which I say--why are you even playing one?
This of course doesn't extend to people who have interesting reasons of course--disliking their race, wanting to fit in, etc. But people that just dismiss their entire racial identify for some kind of "head canon"...Just play a Hyur.
That said, Ashe is very catlike. She's a pretty serious, if occasionally snarky, mage and scholar (literally, not the Job--but that too!), but she's still a cat. Of course she emotes, she hisses, she purrs and snuggles up and rubs up against people she likes when they pet her, etc. And of course she gets startled and flustered if someone tries grabbing her tail unexpectedly.
