Calendar input during desk work
A reader in a one-bedroom apartment reported repeated keyboard contact while a calendar form was open on screen. She included a photograph of the desk after the event and a note that the same corner had been occupied on three previous workdays. We classified the report as a routine association rather than a device-specific behavior and asked for a two-week follow-up.

Window perch during a video call
A household with two cats reported one of them moving onto a windowsill behind the speaker during recurring 09:00 meetings. The observer had not noticed the pattern until a colleague mentioned it. We logged the entry as “routine cue response” with a note that the call tone may have been less relevant than the time of day.

Router rest site during maintenance
A reader noted that the same animal selected the router shelf during two firmware updates and one ten-minute outage. She also pointed out that the shelf is the warmest flat surface within reach, which the desk agrees is the simpler explanation. The case stays classified as heat-seeking behavior, with a routine-learning note added after the second observation.

Printer tray reoccupation after a chair move
An observer rearranged the chair next to her printer. Within a week, the animal had begun using the empty paper tray as a rest site. We treated this as a useful negative result — small changes to room geometry change which surfaces an animal will choose — and asked her to keep a short follow-up log.

Voice timer response around feeding routine
A voice assistant log showed repeated timer commands near the usual feeding period. The observer submitted household context showing that verbal timer setup often preceded meal preparation, so the timer is probably acting as a meal cue rather than a behavior trigger of its own. We added a context note and reclassified the entry from “audio cue” to “routine cue response.”

Heated mat preference over a charger
A household added a small heated pet mat next to a window. The cat shifted from sleeping on the laptop charger to using the mat within four days. We log this kind of observation because most of our “warm device” entries are really about warmth in general; offering a warmer non-device surface usually settles them.

Desk occupation during video meetings
The observer recorded five meetings in which the animal moved onto the desk after the call tone. We classified the report as routine association rather than device-specific behavior, partly because she also noted that her chair scrapes the floor when she sits down, and the animal probably responds to that.

Hallway transit before evening visitors
A reader described the animal stationing itself near the apartment door on Tuesday evenings, when her sister visits. We logged the entry under transit anticipation and noted that the visitor’s ringtone, the elevator sound, and the time of day are confounded.

Printer tray use after a room-light change
The observer reported that the animal began using the printer’s paper tray as a rest site shortly after a new floor lamp was installed nearby. The desk initially classified this as routine learning; a follow-up note about the lamp’s warmth shifted the entry to a low-confidence heat-preference observation instead.

Keyboard occupation during a long writing session
A long writing session in a small flat — six hours, one short break — ended with the animal sitting across the home-row keys. The observer noted that this is normal when she works late and that nothing in particular preceded it. We accepted the entry as a useful baseline for “no obvious trigger” cases.
