Do you talk to your dog or cat as if they were a person? Do you think that they understand you; to what extent? How about the bird or hamster...or the goldfish? Plants? The computer? The cars? Paint cans? Centerfolds?

Smurf said:In response to "Do you believe they can understand you" I believe that animals, namely dogs, can. Not in the literal sense, but a dog is fully capable of understanding tone, after all dog's barks are mainly based on tone. There's an angry bark, a sad whimper, a "Pay attention to me!" bark. I don't know of any scientific studies on them, but it seems perfectly reasonable to assume that a dog understands when you're angry with it.

Yes, but what are his hand signals to you?loseyourname said:We also communicate through hand signals. Instead of calling him to come over or go a certain place, if he can see me, I'll just point at him and then point at where I want him to go.
What about people who talk to you for example in GD?arildno said:I talk to myself occasionally; does that count?
"Talking to things that are not human" refers to the act of communicating with non-human entities, such as animals, plants, or even inanimate objects. This can include speaking, signing, or using other forms of communication to interact with these beings.
While it may not be possible to have a traditional conversation with non-human entities, many scientists and researchers believe that it is possible to communicate with them in some form. Some animals, for example, have been shown to understand and respond to human language and gestures.
People may want to communicate with non-human entities for a variety of reasons. Some may be interested in understanding the intelligence and abilities of these beings, while others may be seeking companionship or a deeper connection with the natural world.
Research on communication with non-human entities has the potential to improve our understanding of the world around us and how different species interact with each other. It may also lead to advancements in technology and medicine, as some animals have unique abilities that could be harnessed for human use.
There may be some risks involved in communicating with non-human entities, such as misinterpretation or misunderstanding of intentions. It is important to approach these interactions with caution and respect for the beings involved, as well as following ethical guidelines for research and communication with animals and other non-human entities.
