I've never understood why people baby talk to pets, or children for that matter.
Didn't figure out that I am autistic until 2 years ago, but that only explains why I've always found this odd, not why people do it.
Human children should be talked to as though they are small adults so their language grows.
Kitties are to be told they are babies and little smoochie faces to keep them from taking over the world and enslaving us all.
At this point I think I am going to get a kitten and read the classics to it and hope it leads to a brood of its children taking over the world, they'd probably do a better job than almost any people I have ever met or heard of.
