I talk to my animals all the time. Actually, I probably talk to my animals more than I talk to people. Is this a bad thing?

With my reptiles I talk to them about how dirty they've made their tub, if they want a nice plump rat, or tell my pastel that he better not bite me. I talk to the rats, asking them if I can see their pretty babies, what kind of veggies do they want today, etc. Now, with the dog, cats, and ferrets. I talk to them like they are people, because well they are people to me. They are my children and when people ask me if I have kids, I say I have 9! (4 cats, 1 dog, 3 ferrets, and 1 bird). You will often hear me talking baby talk to my cat Ramman. He loves it! He is attached to my hip at all times unless I'm in the animal room.
