Hmm, I think the Miqo'te ears are technically part of the hairstyle at a programming level? (I remember noticing when I looked through the hairstyle options that some of the ears are slightly different shapes.) Even if they wanted to, they might not be able to give "other" animal ear shapes without either multiplying the number of designs stored in the system, or limiting the combinations by only having certain styles with certain ear shapes - a similar issue to the Au Ra faces/horns but probably even more of an issue because it would have to replace existing "style X with cat ears" information with "style X now has bunny ears" and any existing characters with that hairstyle would probably not be impressed.

In short, I don't think it could happen - it would likely cause more problems than it solves at a game level, and I don't think it would make sense at a lore level either. Miqo'te are cats. It's too late to try to turn them into something else.
