    Reach down and try to pet them.

      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.

      Pick up the cats one by one and see which lets me pick them up without trying to attack me.

      My cat scratched me a few times on Month 1, but is fine with me now 2+ years in, so if you mean it's all identical clones except the memory, then judging by her initial behavior, only my cat would let me pick her up.

          Each of my cats has a specific strange trait that I would look for.

            She knows the secret whisper. Even if she doesn't intentionally acknowledge it, I can still tell by the way her tail twitches at the sound.

            The other one...I really don't know. He is lost to us ig

              Easy. Mine is the cute but stupid one who keeps walking into walls and barking at his own shadow. And no, he's not blind. Just dumb.

                "find it!" will cause her to search everywhere for her toy. For the other one, it's whichever starts yodeling if I splash water into the air. I've never heard another creature make the noises he does

                  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.

                        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.

                            I just have to sit down for a few seconds. The one that throws themself over my shoulder like a baby is mine. She did that when I first met her at the shelter and she still does it when I visit her at my brother's

                                  I would first try to spray all dogs with a water hose.. all who play or chill are eliminated. Then I would bring them to a lake. Mine would be the first in the water.

                                    He would come to me on his own. He's the goodest of good boys and loves me infinitely. My only problem is that he loves people too much. "Hey that's another human who hasn't petted me!" But he always comes back and wags his tail because he's proud that everyone loves him the way that he loves everyone.

                                      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.

                                      Forget my pet, I would be very worried with everyone involved, cats will just like "holy fuck so many enemy!" and cause a fight.

                                      Other than that, depend on which one im looking for, one could be identify with his eye and being chonk, one with her belly and hook-shaped short tail, one with his whine and fluffy tail and his mane, and one with her very judgemental squint.

                                        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.

                                          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.
