I would assume the same life span as a Man, though they may live slightly longer as a result of the Merish roots. On the other side, they may live slightly shorter life spans due to their feline traits - Cats don't live too long unfortunately.

All just assumption on my part however.

It's been speculated on the lore forum in the past that Khajiits have a roughly human lifespan, not the longevity of the Dunmer, Altmer, etc.

I think they live less than Men races.

I suppose they live longer than men, since S'rathra was 86 in Redguard and he didn't look like he is going to die any time soon.

Maybe it depends on what type of Khajiit it is.

That may be so, since they range in size from housecats (but don't call them that) to great beasts of war and burden.

I'd suspect their natural lifespan to be long compared to Men (and longer than the related Bosmer, who are a mongrel race). However, Elsweyr is a harsh land, and many die of other than natural causes.

They live until they die of too much skooma or too little moonsugar. It's hard being a khajiit.

Lets just guess that they live around 80-100

I'd say like one of the 'lesser' elven races: 150-200. Like a Dunmeri or a Bosmeri.

Depends on how fast they can run.

Hmm, i think if you do the math i think it would be pretty reasonable to be around human or more then humans. If the average lifespan of a cat is 10-15, while with mers its 150-200. so i think it would probably be around 80-100
