Mostly by smell. Every person has a distinct smell, which may be unnoticeable to other humans, but not to cats.

Their other senses are employed as well, such as sight: they recognize their owner's body size and shape, and gait.

Their hearing is also used: they recognize the sound of their owner's voice.

Taste may be used as well: they lick your hand and recognize your distinctive taste.
