I'd sneeze. Calcifer (orange cat) would run up and "mer" at me to say 'bless you'

I would go to bed and just from the duvet rustling notice which cat comes running to be the little spoon.

Or I would sit with some yummy human food (like butter) and see which one will stop sniffing at it when I tell them to leave it, and instead go sit patiently at their own place waiting for their taste of the treat (cats aren't known for their patience, but we have developed this ritual together.. next step is utilising the same command when it's time for their food and see if I can stop that darn yowling).

I've had the same gerbil for almost 30 years. I doubt I'd notice if someone swapped it into identical colored one in the middle of the night.

If they are truly 'identical' down to every atom, unless we are talking about spiritual things, they are simply all the same?

My boy cat has always given me very affectionate, but forceful, cuddles under my chin, especially when scared. Which reminds me that my old lady cat always buries her face in my elbow when she's scared.

So, I'll just have to pick up every cat and see who trusts me enough to use me as a blindfold lol

Put down their favorite box and start trying to pet cats. The one that slinks away rapidly to the box and gets bitey/swatty if you put your hands near is her :)

i literally had a nightmare about this and it really stressed me out

@Balerion She responds to her heads-up noise. She also complains when I pick her up (even after she's asked to be picked up).

Completely heuristic and I would never be entirely sure I have the same one; however, like others have said I'd just have 100 pets. I wish I could afford that and have enough space for that.

So I'm in a room with 100 cats, one of which pesters me for love and affection about a thousand times a day. I could just sit down and wait for her to come over and scream like she's in immense pain as she usually does. If that didn't work I'd clap my hands and look around. The room should look something like this

😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳☺️😳😳😳 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

because she knows me and is used to me being noisy sometimes.

My cat would be in a corner, or hiding under a sofa. It's feral, blind, deaf, and wary of everything and everyone. If it managed to recognise me, it would give a dismissive twitch of the tail and/or take a swipe at me.

One has obvious visible signs from a rough past, plus she makes unique Chewbacca sounds and hops like a kangaroo/faints like a goat when excited. The other would tackle me and not leave my side.

How identical are we talking? Moles all the same place?

All cats.

If it was my old boy, omg I’d love to have 100 versions of him, but the test would be if I sat down, the cat immediately on my lap is probably him, but to be sure I’d bring in some random stranger and sit them down and see if the same cat goes to them immediately. He was the absolute friendliest cat on the face of the earth, even thought the mailman was there for him!

As for the girl I had at the same time, I’d put down wet food aplenty, and then put a pizza box in the very middle of the table with ham in it and see which one could, and wanted to, get it open. She fucking loved pork for whatever reason, and she was smart enough to understand that knocking a food box off the table would get it open very nicely. I lost a lot of leftovers to that bitch.

My current cats.. they would yell at me and disappear. So no idea. I’d probably put my quail cage in the room and see which ones don’t give a shit about the birds. That’s probably a good clue. Tho the fact that they would be fighting everyone would also be a good clue, that would not be a happy time. They can’t even stand small wildlife by the door..

I have a special stupid call that only my dog goes nuts 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.

They would pick me out

I would try to walk. That would instantly make our one cat sprint to my feet to get directly under and infront of them.

For the other cat saying “soft food” would work. She’ll come screaming and expect to be served. Lord help me if I don’t have food on me though.

My cat would find me

I'll do the "Ku" pose from the movie Kindzaza a couple of times and the dog will come running to jump around me. For some reason, he loves it when I do that.

My dog is missing an ear, so that would make her stand out pretty easily. If the rest of the dogs were also missing an ear, I'd look for the one that was trying to play with the rest of them. Calling her name wouldn't do any good anyways, since she would be way too distracted by the 99 other dogs.

I do a simple tongue click twice and wait. My cats all understand what the 2 clicks means.

Vegetables that normal dogs don't like.

Yes. I have a unique whistle that she would immediately respond to.

I know his meow.

Sit down and try to eat a snack. The cat that ends up about 2 inches in front of my face purring while trying to steal my food and gnaw on my nose is mine

I refer to my 2 dogs as "my children" all the time, to the point that when I'm calling them both in from outside, I throw open the door and shout "Children!" Or when they're being annoying, I'm like "Children, stop!"

So I would just have to shout the word "Children!" And they'd come to me.

Just give them commands, that aren't their name. Both my cat and dog do an assortment of tricks and are very food motivated.

I would call my cat and the one that walked up to me stopped a arms reach away would be mine.

Can of whipped cream. Misha has very good pattern recognition.

She also recognises the "c'mon whistle" as head back inside.

Misha is a cat btw
