My dog will come put his head on your knee or the nearest flat surface to where you are to get your attention. Also, if you have your hand out, he will position his head underneath it and nudge you so that you'll pet him.
The cat I had most of my childhood had a habit of walking on paper to get your attention. She would do this to wake me up in the middle of the night so that I would get up and let her out of my room. Later in her life, she picked up the other cat's habit of meowing loudly for attention. And like atropos's cat, she would talk to me. You could literally have whole conversations with this cat, and she would reply.
The people I work for have a dog who regards me as part of his pack, because I see him every day for several hours, and am also his dogsitter. To get my attention, Bert will usually plop himself down in front of me, tilt his head, and give me the saddest puppy eyed look I have ever seen. Then he gets this look in his eyes like, "Well, aren't you going to pet me?" So adorable.
