    I don't have any stuffed animals, but if I did I might well talk to them.
    I do talk to my house plants though.

    I have collected quite a few stuffed animals through the years, but I don't talk to them or the dolls I have amassed, either.(my days of buying dolls and stuffed animals are over)
    I may write alot, but I really don't talk too much in real life anyway. I do talk to my real animals here....cats, dogs and birds....

    i'll talk to the spiritness i may see them as representing. but generally, no. i don't many. i'm not big on collecting. unless its things i can make other things with or out of. i don't dislike plushies. that's what people who respect the craft and the hand crafters of animal forms made of fabric and filling call them. i think they're great. when the craft has been exercised in their making, like any other art form.

    i don't regard them as real organisms. i recognize their lack of cerebral cortex. and yet, who's to say, a passing spirit might not rest for a spell, in anything.

    When you play with them and project qualities onto them, they become extensions of yourself; representations of some facet of your personality.

    this is true. but with three cats, two dogs and an imagination which needs no physical props to be present.

    i do talk to the same invisible people other living animals sometimes do though.

    OP: Definitely not.

    I have been fearful of what they might be thinking at any given moment though.

    You should ask them =]
    And they'll crawl under your neck and poke their lil nose into you and say "mommy your da best" eeeeeeee so exciting.

    Of course. I tend to talk to living animals as well, I always feel like they know something humans don't...

    I think everyone (well, almost) talks to their pets. It's a bit strange not to actually.

    And yea, even though they may not know exactly what you're saying and what it means, when I say "Hi Prancer!" with a smile-to my cat, I know that makes her happy and she knows that I am greeting her. Knows I am talking to her. So, I don't even think it's a useless practice to talk to your pets and I'm sure they can at least tell a lot by tone of voice and stuff.
