The old wives tale comes from basic cat instinctive behavior. They sometimes try to sleep on or near your head. Sometimes they just land on your face. House cats just don't have the 3 dimensional spatial reasoning capacity of a Physicist. They sometimes miscalculate and fall. Sometimes when they try to sleep up against your head they land in your face. They don't seem to mind. You wake up with a face full of fur. It tends to happen in the winter when it is cold. It is worse when the cat sort of thinks you are their mother. They want you to clean them sort of. You have to gently convince them otherwise. They are worth it.
Yeah I’ve had mine fall on me in the middle of the night. They also seem to delight in stepping ON whatever part of you they are walking near. Like I know they could easily step over my legs but they always have to step right on them. Lil stinkers
We had a housekeeper who actually believed that. I had to explain to her that cats don’t have lips so they can’t suck like that. I’m not sure if she bought it.
My mother was furious with me years ago when I sent a photo of my cat sleeping next to my newborn daughter! “Don’t you know cat’s steal a baby’s breath away”
She prob thought you were just trying to make her feel better about having a cat lol.
Side note - I guess I never really thought about cats not having lips. They really don’t lol
I'm allergic to trees but I'm a horticulturalist. I'm allergic to dogs, and I have a 17 year old pup. Allergies ain't gonna beat me down.
I like all the kitties in OP's post, but I like the way the third cat carries itself, and I like "Concombres" a lot too.
If forced to choose and based on sartorial splendor alone, it has to be the distinguished void with the jaunty bow-tie.
The only actual answer is all of them 
The pretty little void with the red bow tie makes me think of the Jenny Linsky books I read as a little girl and loved. Jenny Linsky was a little black cat with a red scarf and had charming adventures with her cat friends. :3

We approve of formal kitten attire here as well.
All of her markings were perfectly symmetric!

Every 3rd toe was black on her front and back paws and her front legs made a perfect circle when they were together ❤️

Same. Also recognized that print on the blanket and had to share my own. This is Stormageddon: Dark Lord of All.
Bow ties are cool.
Why does all 4 seems to represent the four seasons 😭😭😭 void seems to be either summer/winter, Scottish fold mix seems to be either autumn/winter, long hair tux kitty seems to be spring/autumn and tabby seems to be summer/spring 😭😭😭 so cute
*I just know those 4 cats are whats keeping the peace in your house😭 4 roommates is a lot*
*\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_*
it's a human, they've noticed me
possibly, at some degree
i jump and scratch and kick and meow
the humans must like me, that's just true
but through all this
i let you know
my love for you
💗
I like them all. (The cats, not the roommates) but I like the long haired cat best, I guess, because he reminds me of one of ours, Sylvester:

The void. Kudos to the roommate who adopted him. Voids are often overlooked and ignored for adoption at shelters because people want cats that show up well in photographs.
Doesn’t he look like the instigator of the group? Zero fluffs given; meanwhile, the long haired kitty is definitely the innocent one. SIC seems like the most independent thinker and Void is just along for the ride. 🖤🩶🤍🤎
Which one do I like? All of them. Which one looks like it would run into a wall then get mad at me? 2. It looks so dumb, no thoughts head empty and I love it.
1) I like black cat (used to have one myself)
2) Fat and cute are perfectly balanced
3) Damn gorgeous mf
4) Most simple looking among all 4, simple is good
In conclusion, I like all cats
This sounds like the beginning of one of those puzzles. Four roommates have four cats each roommates cat prefers a different type of cat food and wears a different color collar. Figure out which room each roommate lives in, which cat each roommate has, the color of the collar and the preferred food of the cat.
What do you mean 'which one'? They're all cats, so I like them all, duh. :-P
4 can absolutely not be trusted. Ring Indoor Cam pointed at that one all the time.
Hey, I said I liked 'em, there's not a cat alive that I TRUST, they're little assassin jerks!
Wellll there is that old story that cats try to steal your breath when you are sleeping 😂
The old wives tale comes from basic cat instinctive behavior. They sometimes try to sleep on or near your head. Sometimes they just land on your face. House cats just don't have the 3 dimensional spatial reasoning capacity of a Physicist. They sometimes miscalculate and fall. Sometimes when they try to sleep up against your head they land in your face. They don't seem to mind. You wake up with a face full of fur. It tends to happen in the winter when it is cold.

That behavior can be a little more difficult for men. You have no idea.
Especially when those middle of the night zoomies hit and your bed just so happen to be right in the middle of that path
When I had periods, my first baby boy always seemed to know exactly where to STOMP me
Mine jumps off my face while playing tag at 3-4 am
We had a housekeeper who actually believed that. I had to explain to her that cats don’t have lips so they can’t suck like that. I’m not sure if she bought it.
My mother was furious with me years ago when I sent a photo of my cat sleeping next to my newborn daughter! “Don’t you know cat’s steal a baby’s breath away”
My mother told me that too! So strange.
She prob thought you were just trying to make her feel better about having a cat lol. Side note - I guess I never really thought about cats not having lips. They really don’t lol
It’s a old wives tale and it’s utter bullshit
Thanks for clearing that up. Here I was holding my breath around cats.
😆
At least now you can learn if you’re allergic or not.
I'm allergic to trees but I'm a horticulturalist. I'm allergic to dogs, and I have a 17 year old pup. Allergies ain't gonna beat me down. I like all the kitties in OP's post, but I like the way the third cat carries itself, and I like "Concombres" a lot too.
Is it the shifty eyed look? 😂
Samsies
Exactly. Though, the bowtie is dashing.
Four sounds like too many room mates but just enough cats.
Couldn't agree with you more
Zero roommates and 4 cats would be ideal
Can confirm this is indeed the ideal arrangement as I have no roommates and 4 cats
Me too! It’s a great way to live.
Not enough ~~cats~~ slices
Can always get rid of the roommates but keep the cats.
If my 4 roommates were cats, that would be ideal.
Can you get the cats to pay rent?
They sure won’t lol
Even if they could...they wouldn't.
"Do you accept bottlecaps and hair ties?"
If forced to choose and based on sartorial splendor alone, it has to be the distinguished void with the jaunty bow-tie. The only actual answer is all of them 
Imma just slide in and say “ditto”

Omg!!! You’ve just unlocked a memory for me😭😭jenny linsky was so cute 🥹
/r/catsinbusinessattire
Another day, another cat sub! Thanks for this one it's adorable
Imma just slide in and say “ditto”
This!! 💯!
Right? They’re all cute but the one with the bow tie wins hands down.
All of them

Very distinguished 😍

I love her pattern. A lovely lady indeed.

The third looks so much like my old cat that died a few years ago, I'd probably bury my face in its fur and sob if I had the opportunity
I’m pretty sure imma lose my shit on the day I lose my Stinky boy.
Yes
I really like the one with 2 eyes and 2 ears and a nose and a mouth 😍😍😍😍😍
Keep the cats get rid of the roommates lol And there all adorable 🥰
Isn't it obvious? I like all of them :D
Why does all 4 seems to represent the four seasons 😭😭😭 void seems to be either summer/winter, Scottish fold mix seems to be either autumn/winter, long hair tux kitty seems to be spring/autumn and tabby seems to be summer/spring 😭😭😭 so cute
All of them are ADORABLE but Chubba #2 seems extremely smooshable!! I’d like to smoosh his cuddly self!!
all these people saying "i like all of them" as if they don't want to hurt anyone's feeling... pfft, #2 is the answer
One does not choose a favorite. One worships each one equally and to excess.
I just know those 4 cats are whats keeping the peace in your house😭 4 roommates is a lot
One of the cats randomly does something cute or “ohh fuck not again” when a fight starts.

If you got rid of the roommates, you’d have room for more cats
This is the obvious answer.
I like them all, but void and half ears are my faves.
I think they are called folds.
Oh I know, just giving them a silly name!
All. If I were forced to pick one & run, it would be the void baby😍
Me too!
I like them all. (The cats, not the roommates) but I like the long haired cat best, I guess, because he reminds me of one of ours, Sylvester: https://preview.redd.it/tybg6klvn57d1.jpeg?width=3738&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=acba30661f40de287e23ef76a59304a7065a5def
I 🤍🖤 Sylvester
is n.2 a mix of Scottish Fold ?
Yesss he is
"Each of my four roommates" implies that you haven't adopted a cat yourself?
CONCOMBRES
All of tjem is the correct answer
The void. Kudos to the roommate who adopted him. Voids are often overlooked and ignored for adoption at shelters because people want cats that show up well in photographs.
I'd be unable to pick just one. Just gather them up and I'll take em all home with me.
Or just bring your own and move in. The more the merrier!
Four roommates, four cats, where is yours OP? I'm black cat *connoisseur*, but I do like all of them. Especially grey chonker with folded ears!
Pic 2 is a mood
They are all honestly gorgeous. I would have to say 4 because I had a cat like that and it was an amazing companion
The tux looks sassy and i dont trust the folded ear cat. Foldy looks like he will knock a plant down and blame the void
Doesn’t he look like the instigator of the group? Zero fluffs given; meanwhile, the long haired kitty is definitely the innocent one. SIC seems like the most independent thinker and Void is just along for the ride. 🖤🩶🤍🤎
I love them all. But the black kitty is always gonna be the best kitty.
yes.
Which one do I like? All of them. Which one looks like it would run into a wall then get mad at me? 2. It looks so dumb, no thoughts head empty and I love it.
Cats: all of them, duh! Roommates...to be determined.
I know they're not orange but they definitely look like they all share 1 braincell and it's no.3s turn with it.
Pick the one who you vibe with and the one who gravitates to you
I like all of the kitties. 🐱
Dont ever ask such an absurd question again. Its cats theyre all cute af.
Number one and four
ALL
E, all the above
4 way tie.
I really like 1 and 2 and 3 oh and also 4.
✨ CONCOMBRES ✨
Adopted cats?! You mean they didn’t birth the cats themselves?!!!???!
Every one of them!
I love them all 🤩
All of them
All gorgeous
The only correct answer is: All of them.
Alll of the above
All of them. Don’t make me choose one!
All of the Above
They are all so cute. I CHOOSE....ALL OF THEM.
all of the kitties oc!!!!
How dare you suggest we choose lol
The second dude looks like he’s about to straighten your shit up. Definitely the bossiest xD
Which one do I like? Yes. That’s my final answer
the black cat :>>>
Oh m G! They're all so different from each other and cute! There's only one correct answer 🐱 🐱 🐱 🐱
You got the title wrong. It should be ‘Each of these 4 cats has adopted a roommate’
Ok but like, what are Gourmet English cucumbers like?
Only one bothered to dress up, so... winner
How am I supposed to pick a favourite?? They’re all the bestest.
All of them.
Trick question! The answer is: E.) ALL OF THE ABOVE
1) I like black cat (used to have one myself) 2) Fat and cute are perfectly balanced 3) Damn gorgeous mf 4) Most simple looking among all 4, simple is good In conclusion, I like all cats
Me, too, and much love to all of these fabulous animals!!! 😻
All of them 
I want a sitcom about these cats.
Cmon, like asking which of my children I prefer.
Allllll
You live in a paradise!
No matter which cat your roommates chose, the cats will over rule this and choose their own preferred human (they're all gorgeous btw)
All 4 of them!
Which ONE I like!? They’re cats so I like all of them!!!
All
1st one looks very polite
The one with the bow tie is really cute. However they are all adorable.
The void and the chonker.
Aren’t the cats your roommates???? Kick out the humans, loll All are cuties but #2’s eyes and expression is just a vibe right now 🥹😭💕
3RD ONE LOOKS LIKE MY OLD CAT OMG
Why must I choose?
I wanna live in your apartment.
Yes.
All but void with bow tie😭 get a tie to the toxido cat
Tuxedo. He’s looking at you but he’s also looking away. Go figure. lol
All of them.
All of them
Yes
ALL of them.
I love all cats
Yes
Yes
I like all the cats.
First and last, void and tabby.

Yes.
I love all of them. Edit: to clarify, I'm talking about the cats.

First one with the bow tie, but all are super cute.
All of them 🩵
4 round cats under one roof?! Where’s the angular one?? (They’re all adorable)
Yes
All of them.
I like all of these critters :)
Honestly I love black cats but the rest their faces are too damn cute so idk
Yes.
Each fluffy is unique and equally lovable. ❤️
Silly question, I like them all! 😂
I will not choose. Every one of them is so cute.
They’re cats. I love all of them! I to have to say that the lovely tuxedo has the most FABULOUS whiskers!
All four of them they are all cutie pies
Which "one" lmao I LOVE ALL OF THEM! 😍
omg! The Adorable Cats Starter Pack!
Great kitty family. I like them all.
I like 1 best, wait no! 4, err.. 2? Actually 1. Wait no…
All of them 😍
So when are you going to adopt a cat?
Something about the way the third cat (tux cat) is sitting and the sparkle in their eye makes me LOVE them
Impossible to choose, all perfection
They all need plaid bowties.
All of them are adorbs
The nerve of you asking us to choose. I’m calling the cops.
As if that’s a choice?! All four 😻
I love them all!
D) all of the above
I want to say the first one but omg, that lil donut in the second pic...
There is not one thought going on behind #2's eyes. How adorable
All are lovely 🥰 but definitely no 2 😂 looks cute with that face
Yes
This sounds like the beginning of one of those puzzles. Four roommates have four cats each roommates cat prefers a different type of cat food and wears a different color collar. Figure out which room each roommate lives in, which cat each roommate has, the color of the collar and the preferred food of the cat.
THE SECOND ONE 😍😍😍
What’s it like having four and four? Does each cat like to hang and follow their specific owner or do the four cats basically just own the place?
All of them.
