i.e. all the ways my ocs regularly act like cats.
Climb things. Sit on top of bookshelves and dressers and pillars and tables.
Squeezing through tiny spaces it doesn't seem like they should be able to actually fit in.
Liquid bones. How are you even contorted like that??
Nap in a sunny spot. Nap a lot. Nap anywhere.
Cheek rubs, head bunts, touch noses, and tail-wraps to say hello to beloved friends.
Grooming. Straight up licking instead of just kissing (tho they can kiss too ofc)
Kneading with little biscuit hands.
Strong sense of smell and hearing - makes them good at recognizing people's moods & reading body language (heart rate changes, hormone levels, etc)
Walk ahead of friends and then just stop and turn around mid-stride, causing accidents.
Scratching furniture when worked up... usually absentmindedly. (Miqo'te 'stress ball' is actually just something handheld they can drag their claws over without wrecking the furniture)
Extremely drawn to movement. High prey drive.
Play ambushing. Play fighting. Play chasing.
Investigate what friends are doing. They're in your space. They're helping. Pay attention to them.
Mirroring. They'll start imitating friends' body language so fast.
Silly eyes (even for Sun Seekers!)
Airplane ears and tail whips when grumpy.
Hair/fur fluffs up like Ghibli character when excited or scared.
Hissing, growling, purring, chirping.
Also kekekekeke'ing when there's something they want to hunt and can't reach.
Startling them might get a miqo'te stuck to your ceiling or backflipping into all your furniture.
Angry Miqo'te can intimidate and chase off much larger creatures just by fluffing up and yowling and being Big Mad.
Allowing tummy pets/rubs/touches is a BIG display of trust.
Bringing food to friends bc they looked hungry. Stealing food from friends bc it looked tasty.
