    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.

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

      My cat can do tricks. So I’d just make him do them and take him back home

              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.

                  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.

                    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.

                        I taught my cat tricks. So it would be the one who would shake my hand for a treat. My cat also is a coward, so would check the wallflowers first.

                          Lie down and take out my phone. The two cats who immediately get between my face and my phone are mine, as are my 198 new cats.

                            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

                              Well, first I'd be asking what you did to the eye on 99 other pets. After that, I'd find a stairway and take home the first one that tried to trip me going up the stairs

                                      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.

                                      I call my dog Yardstick because she only has 3 feet. Pretty sure I could pick her out, besides the fact that she'd be glued to my leg.

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