Do You Talk To Your Pets?

I talked to my cats and dogs. My dogs tended to respond well and usually seemed to be listening. The kitties seemed to listen as well, but they only responded to me when they wanted a treat or food, or possibly something in my hand.

But often, I found it was good that they didn't actually talk back. Sometimes, it just felt good to talk to someone that would listen, and not say anything--just listen.
