Do You Talk To Your Pets?

I don't think that talking to one's pets is crazy at all. Whenever I feel sad, I would talk to my cats even if they are napping. It makes me feel good when there is someone just listening to you and not giving any unsolicited advice whatsoever. When it comes to my dogs, whenever I go out in the morning, I would pet them one by one and greet them good morning. My grandmother would say that what I am doing is weird because I am personifying the animals too much. I don't listen anyway. Also, when I was volunteering for an animal shelter near our home, the coordinator told us that the first step in rehabilitating abused and traumatized animals is to just sit with them and let them get used to your presence. Thus, talking and petting them are very important.
