Hm... A Khajiit is a cat. Not like, Khajiit look like cats. More, Khajiiti texts repeatedly refer to Khajiit as cats, in contexts where words like Khajiit or person might be more expected. Where humans would call Khajiit a kind of beastfolk, and Imperials a kind of man, Khajiit call Khajiit a kind of cat.
It honestly feels kind of therianthropic, in a weird way. Upon further researching this, Kharaya found a text that speaks for itself:
And Azurah took some forest people who were torn between man and beast, and she placed them in the best deserts and forests on Nirni. And Azurah in her wisdom made them of many shapes, one for every purpose. And Azurah named them Khajiit and told them her Second Secret and taught them the value of secrets.
[...]
And Nirni thanked Y'ffer and let him change the forest people also. And Y'ffer did not have Azurah's subtle wisdom, so Y'ffer made the forest people Elves always and never beasts. And Y'ffer named them Bosmer. And from that moment they were no longer in the same litter as the Khajiit.

This one had somewhat overlooked the implications of this excerpt in the past. By Kharaya-do's current reading, Khajiit have aspects of both humans and "beasts" (cats). It's not a linguistic quirk, it's a known aspect of the Khajiit's origins and being.
So, uh, that was a long ramble that built up to something simultaneously surprising and unsurprising. This one has decided that the therian label is in fact applicable to her. She did not know this when she started writing this.
