A little home schooling?
Dogs and cats love to learn new things. Got an achiever-type? Give the Language Board Project a try. The folks who work with Koko the gorilla created it for dogs, but think cats could also enjoy this method of communicating. Modify their guidelines to fit your dog or cat's unique personality, and let them know your results (they want feedback).

Happily, I received my formal training in animal enrichment and play at the San Francisco Zoo, the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute, and at the Marin WildCare and Terwilliger Education Center. Informally, Reggie, Apaches, and Figgy keep me busy coming up with new ideas and projects to keep them fit, happy, and learning.
