What a gorgeous pair, Spicyweasel! One question: How do you tell them apart?

Thanks!
Well, their differences are many, both when it comes to outer characteristics and personality:
Aurora (''Rorry'') is
sleek and slender with
beaming copper/orange eyes. She
dislikes being carried or held (she's like a squiggly worm), and has the
cutest cry and
loudest purr of the two. Rorry's also
the most adventurous, and nothing's gonna stop her from running outside and hunting shrews when the sun shines.
Birka is
most commonly found slacking on the top of the ''cat tree''. She's
sturdy built (which gives her a ''fat'' appearance), is
tiny (she was a lot smaller than her unrelated mate, as well as her siblings when she arrived), has
gold eyes (not orange!), and while at it- her
eyes are also larger with a ''strict'' look to them. Further, she
has white hairs on her chest (!), a
silent purr and a
loud, distinctive cry. Despite her ''lazy indoors-cat'' attitude, she's a
born climber (more skilled than Rorry!) and will
follow you like a dog rather than act sceptical.
But I have to admit it can be hard to tell them apart at times, especially from a far away distance. Both are so BLACK. XD
*The pics are taken at my parents' place, on an island in the North of Norway. There's no way I would keep them trapped in a city apartment like this, with traffic roaming outside. They've got a taste of nature and love it, and so it shall be. There's nothing like a free animal allowed to be its species to the fully.
