You can also bond emotionally to
inanimate objects, such as
goldfish ties. Of course there is generally a human related emotional bond behind the inanimate object emotional bond, but not
always. I'm in love with trees. I feel an emotional bond to the
cuban tree that lives in my room because I saved it from the evil clutches of
planty death.
Also, I feel an emotional bond with the
dead leaves strewn across the carpet in my room. And to the
moon at times, and many other little things that really aren't very human'y at all.
