I had my cattery home region down 3 times in under 12 hours, two times for about 1/2 hour, the third for 2-3 hours. It didn't crash, it didn't reset, it simply locked up and became unresponsive until I notified them and they got it back up.
Most cats lost 4-5 percent of love gain over that 24 hours, which is a little more than I'd expect given the down time and given that's nearly 1/3 of the day's love.
The bigger issue was cats who somehow got caught wrong in the sleep cycle or whatever, somehow they came out way more hungry or unhappy than they should have for being offline so small a time and had to recover to start gaining love again, so i had 2-3 cats that lost nearly a full day.
No cat in question was attached to me; I've learned my lesson there. But somehow the cats took a double or worse hit for being offline that time. I know you can't control sims or LL, but something needs to be done to ensure that the loss is limited to the sim downtime, that it doesn't leave our cats screaming for food and less than 50 percent happy when the sim was up for 83 percent of the 24 hour period.
