Talking to pets is a sign of intelligence

[Catherine]

Quote:Yes I have talked to trees too. I often talk to the five great Oaks near my house as I pass. I thank them for being there because they're beautiful and strong and lovely company. And I often have apologised for what humans may have done, to any natural living thing, when I have seen any damage or thoughtless harm done.

Sadly we are having to apologize more and more often.

I think it is courtesy to talk to things around us. It is rude to assume that nothing is smart enough to understand what we say.
I think we might be surprized  if we really knew.
