Food going super fast!!

[Maggy Hazelnut]

I'm also noticing huge fluctuations in food & milk usage. I put out 60 cats when I got my new land last week. I put 20 food & 20 milk into the food server. All the cats were sick because I'd been gone for 2 months but I asked in cat chat if sick cats ate more food than healthy cats & was told "no, they don't". Overnight 5 foods were used! The day after that 3 foods were used from the previous 24 hrs. Between last night & this morning 1 food was used (with 50 cats down at home).

A couple days ago I moved 12 of the cats into the cattery to try that out. All of those cats were sick too & still are. I put 20 food & 10 milk in. Three days later less than 1 food is used & over 1 milk. I thought that sick cats didn't use the milk until they were well again? All 12 of the cats are still in sick mode yet they're using more milk in there than food. Seven of the cats out of the 50 left at home (not in the cattery) were brought back to health days ago with get well potions & they're using less milk than the 12 sick ones in the cattery. I'm really confused as to how to even estimate how much food/milk will be used when it's fluctuating so much. It doesn't seem to make any sense to me or am I missing something?
