He does this by meowing and demonstrating on you what he wants you to do.
Since in a sense he was offering paw anyway, I used petting as the reinforcement for "shake hands" and trained him to do so.
His sister was a little different. She got insulin shots after food was presented and she was petted. When in the hospital, a tech put down food for her and she meowed quite the annoyed little meow at him that she dared offered her highness food without petting.
