Here's something that's never crossed our minds, if you had an identical twin, would your pet confuse the two of you? Well, seems like someone did think about it, Redditor u/Asshiq, asked the Reddit community, "Identical twins that own pets, what was your pet's reaction when they saw your twin?"

The responses were delightful but we especially enjoyed reading the silly stories people had to share about their experience as a twin and a pet. So now we're going to ask you, before reading the comment below, do you think the pets were able to tell the identical twins apart?

    Text - zachbs 29 days ago My dog can clearly tell when it's not me. But when I'm not there my brother can act as a temporary replacement. He's a velcro dog and has a hierarchy of people he attaches to 2.9k Reply Give Award Share Report Save

    Text - justjess409 29 days ago I'm an identical twin and I've never thought of this haha. Now I wonder if my dogs have ever gotten confused and I just didn't notice it. One thing I noticed is they will beg from her way more often than they beg from me. I wonder if they know I won't give them scraps/human food but they think maybe she will. 4.3k Reply Give Award Share Report Save mymatrix8 29 days ago If they're begging from her and not you, I guarantee they know you're different people! 1.8k Rep

    Text - liberty285code6 29 days ago S My mom has cats and I don't think they can tell my sister and I apart. Also of note, I don't think my 3-year-old nephew can tell my sister and I apart. I think he just believes he has one very attentive aunt. 18.7k Reply Give Award Share Report Save MoonRabbit00 29 days ago Can confirm. Worked 10 years at a restaurant with my twin sister and we'd work the same shift. We both received great reviews on how 'attentive' we were. 9.4k , Reply Give Award Share Repo

    Text - turkeyburgerandfries 29 days ago honestly, their reaction isn't that notable. pretty sure the differences in our scents are distinguishable enough for them to not freak out about 2 identical looking people. that or my dog is just thoroughly unimpressed by my twin lol 14.6k Reply Give Award Share Report Save

    Text - 561861 29 days ago · edited 29 days ago My twin sister and I grew up with pet goats. None of them ever mixed us up. We had certain goats that liked one of us better than the other and could always tell which one was which when they came up for petting. My sister went off to work across the country for a year while I stayed on the farm, and the goat that loved her best always came up to me like she used to do for my sister. But I think that she knew we both missed my sister and wanted to c

    Text - Konosa 29 days ago · edited 29 days ago Just tested this last month with my husband and his twin. Our dog is a 2 year old lab for the record. Doggie had met the brother once before a full year earlier, so we didn't think she would remember him. When brother arrived, my husband left the house so we could stage an entrance. We told the twin to walk in and call for doggie the way husband does. When the door knob stated turning, I told our dog, "Oh look, husband is home!" The twin walked in,

    Text - YaDrunkBitch 29 days ago Ok so my cat is super skittish, doesn't like anybody, and by the time my husband and I moved into our second apartment together, she was finally cool with him. Then one day, his brother came over. He was standing in the living room with me, while my husband was in the kitchen. Stella trots out, thinking "oh momma and daddy are here!" She comes and snuggles me on the couch and pays no nevermind to brother in law. Until she sees husband in the kitchen. Suddenly, she

    Text - spacey_kasey 29 days ago 3 I don't have a twin, but my sister and I look and sound pretty similar. She gave me her cat several years ago and I'm 99% sure he didn't even register that he got a new owner. Even though I lived with 3 other people at the time, he started following me around and sleeping on my bed day 1 without paying any mind to anyone else. She's only visited the cat a few times since, but he always acts super confused any time it happens, like he can't tell which of us is hi

    Text - elmonstro12345 29 days ago Identical twin here. This is maybe not technically a pet but I think it's close enough. I worked at a summer horse camp during college. Some of the more spirited horses would kind of act up with people they didn't know well, to see if they could get away with stupid shit (nothing major, just like refusing to really put effort into events, stopping on trails to eat random plants constantly, etc.). The barn staff rode the horses enough that they wouldn't really ch
