I talk to animals. I figure they probably don't know what I'm saying (with the exceptions of animals trained to recognise command words of course), but I think some of them can get something from it based on the tone of my voice or something.

I've noticed I can coax most dogs/cats over while I'm working a boring shift which is great and I've even been able to make the occasional other animal like a fox come over (though most foxes are right skittish little things).
