If accused of talking "baby talk" to your dog, science is on your side for getting their attention.
Dogs are sensitive to acoustic properties in the human voice.
Scientifically called "dog-directed speech", dogs spend more time with humans that use such techniques. Often the human is unaware of their automatic speech changes when talking to dogs.
Humans also use a "sing-song" style when talking to cats.
Cat's rely primarily on visual and vocal signals to get their human to serve them. A linguistic researcher in, Sweden Suzanne Schotz, is presently working on "melody in human-cat communication" to help define our communication styles.
Humans often use a higher pitch range and melodic tone to get a cat's attention.
After kittenhood, a wide variety of meows are used by cat's to get a human's attention.
