Sure, but it's usually along the lines of "Dog, you're a stupid asshole. Maybe if you weren't so loud and obnoxious people would be willing to play with you." Yeah... I project a lot.

I talk to my cats all the time. Sadly they don't speak english just meows, chirps, and trills.
One of our cats if you ask her a question (as in your voice gets higher at the end of the statment) she will almost always utter a single meow at you. It's training cuz my wife always lavishes her with praise when she does this.

Don't you? Breaking the fourth wall is so fun.
I hate to nitpick. As it is a funny joke but...
Breaking the forth wall is when you address that you're in a play/tv show like saying "shouldn't we save that for act ii?" or saying like 1/2 of what Abed says on 'Community.'
Directly addressing the audience, asking them 'what do you think i should do?' is called an aside. What Zack on 'saved by the bell' did all the time.

Yeah I do. And though he can't speak back, my cat still seems to let me know what he's thinking. This may be the reason I'm the only person in the house he likes, because I listen.

Not really beyond calling their names of giving them commands.

With my dog the furthest from that I'll go is when she's wigging out whenever I get home. I baby-talk at her while petting her. That or asking if she wants to go for a ride in the car. It's just funny how excited she gets when I talk gibberish to her.

My cat I generally just tell to fuck off most of the time. It'll whine until I give it food then it'll still whine so I'll pet it and it'll still whine so I just tell it to shut up.

I talk to my dog all the time. Helps to vent and my dog actually pretends to listen even though I know she has no clue what I am saying other than, "good girl", and "do you wan a treat now?"

Yes, I talk to my cats. They respond to me when I call them over and I tell them and listen to what I say...well most of the time.

Sometimes I refer to my cat as Señor Cuddles and talk about his crazy escapades throughout the house. At least I used to but not as much since I'm in a college dorm. I miss my cat now...

I chat with my dog when I'm feeling down.

Though I also tell him he's awesome regularly. Considering he seems to know how to act depending on my mood, I figure he understands my tone of voice at least... @_@

Yes, a lot.

The dogs respond to my voice(as is fairly obvious) and so instead of saying meaningless gibberish in a specific tone of voice, I will instead just speak normally.

I have a very small tolerance for baby talk.

All the time. My dog my not know what I'm saying but he definitely knows what mood I'm in and is very comforting. I used to have conversations with my nanna's dog. No, I'm not kidding that dog talked. I'm not crazy he was replying!

My mother seems to think she can give them complex commands.
If i can't figure out why they're making noises i just make the same noises until they stop.

Yes. Who doesn't!?
I swear my 2 house rabbits know when I am telling them off. Same with my horses. They are too intelligent for their own good I swear it!

I talk to my dog all the time! I even put on a voice so that it's as if she is talking back.

I'm perfectly sane I swear!

I'm a fairly silent and reserved person in general, but when I'm around my dog, I turn into a complete idiot. I talk to him all the time, especially when it's just two of us at home. It's funny too, my dog understands a lot of spoken 'ques' even when they're not meant as commands. Like, I may be lying there with my dog, playing something. And I may say something like "You wanna go out?" in a regular "talking-to-a-human" tone of voice. He gets up and walks to the door.

Back when I had a slightly crazy (or maybe just inbred) goldfish, I was forever nagging it to stop swimming upside down / sideways / etc...

That was about it really.

Yes I do talk to my dogs. I don't tell them about my day or anything, just little comments about what they're doing.

My dog knows how I feel and responds accordingly, she's like my sister and therapist.

I just have this way with animals, go to one friends house and their cats will hang around me, go to my other friends house and his dog adores me to death.
For example:
Jess (the dog) is barking, I go "Jess, stoppit, it's just me" she'll top sit up and start wagging her tail, no matter who else is around.
Another time, I was eating dinner at my friends place and she was laying by the door all sad-like, and mid conversation I went "and I want you to cheer up" pointing at her. Ears perked up, tongue lolled out and she started wagging her tail.
