The kittens have names.

We decided to name one Ender (from Orson Scott Card's book Ender's Game and its sequels) and the other Skif (from Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series. For a while we were thinking that we would go with Hengist and Horsa, but we decided that they weren't quite right.

Nice names!
Very cute.

Thanks. Somehow, they just felt right.

based on the literary reference I recognize, I am assuming the one that likes to attack things is "Ender" ?

And Skif reminds me of a name I once gave a cat... Xiv, pronounced Ziiiiiiiv... it more of a sound effect than anything else. :)

The one we named Ender is just a little bit more agressive and adventurous, Skif is more skittish and jumpy.

Sounds perfect!
