This derives from the safe knowledge that domesticated animals understand the general tone of what you're saying (and of your physical behaviour), rather than the words themselves. What I mean is, if you shout aggressively at a cat, it'll back off, whereas if you speak softly and nicely it'll hang round you. It's similar as talking to babies, I suppose.
