Why do people like Khajit so much?

[Adam Jensen 007]

Their bonuses are not that great compared to other races?
Seeing better in the dark and unarmored combat really?

persoanly i prefer the daggerfall one when they were anime cat people with just tails and some tapered ears with light fur and not full on furry bait

Khajit precedes furry so khajit's are not to blame.

I'd argue its because they are unique, I mean there really isn't another fantasy race quite like them, I know other fantasy races exist in frachise that resemble them BUT the Khajiit have a lot of complex lore to them, the various types that they can be born into depending on the phases of the moon, the fact that they have a very interesting culture, that they are likely the oldest race in Tamriel and that they have a lot of unique things about them.
In my opinion Khajiit are popular due to their uniqueness, their quirks and well the fact that they are interesting.

Huh? I see very little about Khajiit ever. Are they a genuinely popular race amongst the community?

There's a Monty Python's Flying Circus skit called "The Mouse Problem". There's an audio only version on YouTube.
Wikipedia
Overview

In the sketch, an interviewer (Terry Jones) and linkman (Michael Palin) for a fictional programme called The World Around Us, investigate the phenomenon of "men [who] want to be mice". The programme bears a striking similarity to an episode of Panorama;[1] even its theme tune, the fourth movement of Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 1, was the theme tune of Panorama at the time. The sketch was originally written for The Magic Christian but was not used.[2]

A "confessor" (John Cleese) is interviewed about his experience as a mouse: when he was a teenager, he got drunk at a party and experimented with cheese, and gradually came to accept his mouse identity. "It's not a question of wanting to be a mouse — it just sort of happens to you," he tells the interviewer. "All of a sudden you realize… that's what you want to be."

Well, not exactly scientific, and it is old, but I'd say this gives an indication:

If you don't want to click, in summary, 6900 votes in total and Khajiit came out #1, barely beating Nord. At least at this moment, not sure if you can still vote on it.

Short answer: yes

the long answer involves the fact their isn't one community, and the difference between the fans liking something and authors liking something..... but it's boring and longwinded (because if you try to cut it down people start arguing over trivial things) so I don't think I'll use it....

Depends on the sample size. Nord #1. Khajiit second. Given a larger sample, an elf or Breton is likely to win number one. 11k+ votes here. Click the second option to view results.

it's like cats, people adores them because of being fluffy, cute, funny, ...

IIRC there's a mod on Nexus that turns everyone to a fox-like beast race.
