Dog brings you things because you asked, it's asking to play, or because they wanted to reward you.

Cat brings you things because it thinks you fucking suck at hunting and feeding yourself.

My cat sometimes brings toys because it wants to play. That doesn't happen too often, though

This is a daily occurrence for me. Normally she brings it to the couch, but if I'm late leaving my desk for lunch she will absolutely bring the toy into my office.

My older cat tells me when it's time to get up, when it's bedtime, etc. He woke me up and is currently content with me being on my phone as long as I don't close my eyes and go back to sleep. In about 20 minutes though he'll decide it's time for me to get up and he'll herd me into the bathroom.
