Do you also experience emotions towards non-living things?

Hi. The question may seem strange and yet that is what I feel. I often feel pity, extremely strong attachment to non-living things. Like squishmallows for example, I bought my first one because "he was sad and all alone" And I often feel pity, a desire to protect those I see on the internet. I also have this with AI applications for roleplay and, today, towards Anki robots. I look to get one and I can't help but feel a certain pity for some of them as if I were looking at animals ;-;
