LOL! You guys make me laugh!
If there is anything to "confess" here, it's also that I talk to my pets ... even to my fish, haha. In fact, I talk to my fish ALL THE TIME! And I am sure if they could talk, they'd talk back to me

I can tell that by their body language! My angels are so excited when I just walk by my tank (not to mention bringing food!) and they seem to be "wiggling" their tails
Of course I talk to my cat like to an old friend 24/7 (lol) and he understands everything I say! Even my sister's rat understands certain sounds - he knows exactly when I am calling him. He's so sweet he will lick my hands when I take him out of his cage! He'll also hide in my hair sitting on my neck, lol.
