Twokinds: Well Twokinds isn't referring to the number of species
Twokinds: It's about relationships that form between two different kinds of people.
Twokinds: It's also about people who have two sides to themselves.

Oh, lots more than that, typically.

Huh, I was gonna make a comment, but it seems he's updated/retconned his reasons for the name. Years and years and years ago, the name used to be in reference to the number of races left as the original plan had Keith finding out that he was the last, or one of the last Basitin left, and that revelation was gonna have major impact on the story for obvious reasons.

I kinda remember once reading about something like that, in the archives have not been here for that long. That when the group arrived at the Basitin isles instead of finding all we came to know and love about our favorite cat/hare hybrids they would have find only ruins.
I think it was or the better, poor Keith already had enough strife in his life without being the last survivor or something like that. Besides it makes the title kinda sweet, about two different kind of people that meet and despite that they find common ground and start a relationship, either a lasting friendship or a deep romance.

Now, only a few wandering Basitins are seen traveling through human towns. The human government believes that there are probably no more than one hundred survivors of the race, and that those few remaining will die out in mere years.

If I remember correctly, Kat wasn't just bred for purpose but also for appearance.
