Reposting a question I saw on reddit like a decade ago. My favorite answer I read was, “I’d take my 100 dogs home and live like a king.”
Personally, I have two cats, Sansa and Shere Khan. For both, I could significantly narrow down the options by seeing which cats meowed at me the most. (I swear I didn’t teach them to yell, but here we are.) For both, I could bring in a dog to discern which cats weren’t scared of dogs. For Sansa, I could wait until dinnertime and put down some wet food, then see who hems and haws about eating it despite having screamed for it. That might not be enough to get it down to just one each, but oh well. I could use 5 or 10 more cats.
They would pick me out
This. My pup would be so anxious around 99 other dogs that she’d rush up to me, waggle her butt and whine about it.
If they are truly ‘identical’ down to every atom, unless we are talking about spiritual things, they are simply all the same?
Answering the question of whether they would all be the same definitely gets into the spiritual side of things, its impossible to separate.
Identical in appearance only, otherwise the question makes no sense.
I’d try and use the bathroom. I’d assume that the two cats that follow me in are mine. If it turns out that all cats will just follow strangers into the bathroom, then one cat is immediately going to jump in the bathtub and start messing with the curtain. Another cat is going to try and dive head first into the toilet. Those will be mine.
Each of my cats has a specific strange trait that I would look for.
By “identical” I’m going to mean you want me to pick Izzy out of a lineup of 100 female grey cats.
Wait and see which one starts yelling at precisely 3:45 PM. That’ll be my Izzy, that’s her loudest meal time.
I don’t have to wait. My pig runs when I whistle. It’s storming right now and he’d bolt out into the rain if I whistled.
Alternatively, bring in the lady next door who feeds him almost daily. He’d started honking and pigging and running to her.
honking amd pigging. your pig pigs? or sometimes doesn’t pig?
Oh easy. I’d go sit on the porcelain throne and close the door. He’ll show up incensed that the door was closed soon enough.
Alternately, I could walk within 10 feet of the cabinet that has the treat bag in it.
Mine would be the dead one. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had a pet.
I’m sorry
I wouldn’t want to but I’m guessing…smell their butts?
I have taught my dog a few nonverbal commands, so I could easily identify her without even speaking… If she isn’t too busy terrorising the other 99 dogs of course.
I do a simple tongue click twice and wait. My cats all understand what the 2 clicks means.
With one of my dogs, I’ll look for the dog that does exactly what I say when I say it. For the other, I will look for the dog that completely ignores everything I say.
Yes. I have a unique whistle that she would immediately respond to.

Reach down and try to pet them.
The one that dodges like Neo in the Matrix is mine.
Thought it was a possum at first lol
After her first vet trip.
Before the trip:
She has such a pretty face!
Oh, it’s easy. Mine is the one cat who is picking constant fights with all the other cats. For the amount of love and affection this guy has for human, he has the identical in size hatered for other cats, especially if they look like him
