Oh gods, my fluffy dumbass does this, too. Not getting attention? He’ll walk over to the Lego and just raise a paw. Not enough? Swipe and knock a minifig flying. If that doesn’t work he just jumps onto the art table and sends pens everywhere.

Even when carrying him around like a baby (are there any gingers who actually enjoy being carried or held like a normal cat?) if he thinks my attention isn’t sufficiently on him he’ll reach one paw up and tap me on the nose for boops. See if I ever teach him anything else.
