Newbie question on building love

[Kayla Woodrunner]

I think cuddling is faster in gaining happiness than milk -- I also cuddle if I bring them in world and they are at 100% love and under 75% happy. To be clear there is no lag in gaining the happy % that you see in the extra 4% added love.

But we are also talking about the love gain before you are at 100% love. You get 10% love gain a day or something like that for sure -- the bump from cuddling or milk adds 4% or something like that. But how that extra 4% love per day is added is different.

I change my pairs often to uptrait so it happens 1 cat is at 65% love and the other is at 85% love. So I will cuddle the 65%love each day or give it milk and not the 85% love one so it can catch up faster. At the end of the day with either cuddling or milk you get that 4% bump. But 6 hours into the day you'll see a little increase with milk that you don't see with the 30 minutes cuddling because the cuddling love gets added later -- it's like an installment payment versus getting paid all at once Either way you get all the money, just a different payment plan.

It only makes a difference at the end. Ex: if you're at 97% love, giving milk will get you to 99% love faster than cuddling due to the gradual increase versus total addition. Unless, of course, you're at the 24-hour mark and then bang, you'll turn around and be at the 100% love mark because the 4% just got added. That's the only time I've seen it make a difference if you're down to that last bit of love gain and how close you are to the 24 hour period for the cuddling. I don't know if that cuddling 4% gets added at a specific time or if it's 24 hours after the 32 minute cuddle so the time would vary person to person. It seems to me I'd see that total 4% bump in the early AM hours but it could be the way I was cuddling. Not sure. I should ask that next time I go to the KC Q&A.

I was a little sad they cancelled the 4pm 9/20/15 Q&A. I don't go often but the Q&A is cool, I often learn something unexpected. Sometimes a friend goes and I learn the best bits from them after. They answer questions from newbies to advanced breeders so it's usually a gamut. There's a lot of subtleties that are not in the manual. Plus the times I went they gave out free prizes after -- I love freebies.
