In a similar vein, one of the charming things about my cat is when he chooses to step on my arm/hand/leg as he's walking around me or clamoring for attention. It's done so elegantly that it would be easy to say "oh that's just where he happened to step, and your arm was in the way."

But! Watch him navigate the minefield of my desk as he's going to get a sip of water and you'll realize that he absolutely knows exactly where each paw is going with extreme precision on each step. The effortless "oops did I just step on your hand so you'll notice me?" is anything but an oops :)

I loved when my parents' cat named Booboo (RIP litle buddy) would do the deliberate step onto my belly/arms lol, and also look into the distance/ out a window. Literally a call to action a la Calvin & Hobbes "so what are we doing today, human?"
Watch this without the audio, which is annoying:
