I found many different lists of the types of love. Indeed, one included your love of non-physical objects… that is, if you count a rock as a pet! Seriously, I think love of things is possessive love, or mania. It’s the kind of thing a lot of people try to stay away from.
Anyway, here goes. Check the links because there are much more detailed descriptions for all these types of love:
