If you were in a room with your own pet and 99 identical pets, how would you pick out your pet (aside from calling their name)?

It was supposed to be a joke. They live around 2 to 4 years.

I guess I would simply have to pet all 100 cats
This is probably worth starting with even when you already know which one is yours.

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.

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.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Kika: raise the palm of my hand threateningly, and start saying things like "nojenta" (disgusting), "jaguara" (sly), "cachaceira" (drunkard), "chata" (boring) etc. Most cats will go away. Kika will however come closer and turn her butt towards me, as if saying "slap it".
Siegfrieda: start speaking in German. No, seriously. She actually identifies when I'm speaking in Portuguese or in German, and if it's the later she immediately thinks it's something with her. Good luck finding 99 cats with a bent mouth and a protruding fang, though.

I haven’t got any pets now, but for the last pet I had, it would’ve been easy. I mentioned in another comment on here recently that she used to attack/eat dandelions.
I could’ve held up a fluffy, white dandelion and waited to see which pup came over to chomp it.

I dunno, statistically speaking, there's gotta be a few more dandelion eaters in that group of 100

I mean the one that follows me the most.

Depends which one, escorting me around, flopping over and not leaving til I’ve scratched the shit out of him, or mithering for food would be solid indicators though.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]my cat has a dedicated overstimulated corner on my desk where she goes if I'm annoying her too much but still wants attention, and I imagine that's not pretty common. She also stares at the wall.

Well, I have a very specific play routine I do with my cat almost every day that no imposter could emulate. I'll point at her and exclaim, "YOU!!! I know what you've done!" and she'll take off running for her life and I'll chase after her. When I finally catch her, I ball my hand into a fist and shove it in her belly and she gives me rabbit kicks and sassy chomps.
