All I've read about Khajiiti mythology makes me think that just about all of it is just a bunch of hallucinations that their "priests" mistook for divine revelations while tripping on ungodly amounts of skooma, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the Khajiit probably aren't related to the elves. :P

I don't think there's a definite answer that be concluded from all the official sources, but there are three things that I'd like to bring up:

There are many breeds of Khajiit, some of which resemble housecats at least physically, which makes me think that it's not unlikely that their lifespan may be a tiny bit closer to a cat's.

The only elderly Khajiit in the games that I'm aware of, Ma'zaka in the Solitude lighthouse, doesn't mention anything about historical events, recent or otherwise, so he probably wasn't alive to form interesting memores about the Oblivion crisis. Or he's just one of the many people the devs just didn't bother to give an detailed backstory to.

Finally, the developers often add in books and stuff that probably contain a few falsehoods or ambiguities without telling you what's actually true, so I think that until they release definite information, I'd say that you can probably just decide that certain things are true about the TES universe without straying from any major elements of its lore.
