Everyone that's had the kitties for a while knows that if you have a cat that hasn't eaten for 3 days that it gets sick and needs 7 days of food or a get well potion before it can be bred again. But it wasn't until a few days ago that I found out that the cat also eats twice the amount of food during those 7 days to get well. I was shocked to hear that & talked with other ppl who also didn't know that the cats ate twice the amount of food during that week's time.
In the last week or so (before I heard that) I'd put about 30 cats into my inventory to save on food costs for a while. These were good young cats & I figured a week or so in inventory wouldn't hurt them. I had no problem with the week of recovery time. But to hear that if I take them out they'll also eat double the amount of food? Those cats will probably never see the light of day again unless I'm sending them to the menagerie which makes me sick since I had no intention of doing that.
I looked all over the manual on the site here & there's nothing about sick cats eating twice the amount of food during recovery time. Isn't a week without being able to breed them penalty enough? Why the double penalty of eating twice the amount of food too? Is that to make people want to buy the get well potions? Do the other breedables do this too if they get sick?
