Hmmm, well when Happiness is 74% or less, the face is clear, so the number does matter. And IF you only have time to cuddle them once every 24 hours, then the maximum Happiness number also matters. Which was my point.
I normally can get the Happiness to 92-93%. (I never said the high 90's btw.) But continued cuddling then brings that number down, when I would expect it to at least Hold the Happiness. That is where Energy comes in play, since to get the high Happiness numbers you need for 24 hours duration (so you do not drop below 75%), you also need to have the Energy high. At least that is what was said here.
If I cuddle a cat at 99% Energy and Happiness does NOT drop after 30 mins of cuddling, then I will believe the Energy/Happiness relation. But as I showed in my last post, if the Energy is low, less than 20%, then the maximum Happiness only gets to the mid 80's. Will a maximum happiness of 86%, stay above 75% for 24 hours? Well I am testing that now - but I don't think it will, even though I cuddled the cats for over an hour in one time slot.
Since you cuddle twice a day, you don't need the higher happiness numbers to keep the 7 day Love cycle "bump". If I had the time to cuddle the cats twice a day, then I would not care what the maximum Happiness number was either - but that is impractical for me.
