Omg, I forgot this, when one of our girl cats was in her “toddler” years, she would go to the spring coil door stop and take her paw and boinoinoing it, over and over and over on a door nearby but just out of line of sight. If you said her name she’d stop for 30 seconds and start again. Repeat until you got up and paid attention to, petted, held, or fed her.
