Why Petfood recovery ?

[John Coakes]

Why is it that cats need 7 days pet food recovery ?

I think that is soooooooo weird,
we already pay enough on cats food milk etc etc,
then when u choose to save food since u don't breed for little while,
we have to wait another 2 weeks to be able to breed.

And it all goes off the 120 days breedable time
can't you guys not make it instant.
Back to breed and instantly regain love ?????

Would be cool if the pet recovery was instantly for our budget indeed
Though I understand why it is not designed this way.
I think for one being able to set a cat on pet food is not designed for breeders to switch between both eventhough KittyCatS made it possible.
It seems the pet food option was originally designed for people who love to have just a cat without the breeding aspects but for example can't afford or want to pay for the permapet treatment.
I think we breeders pay more for having a cat because of the fact we breed them.
Pet food is therefore sort of the same as when a kitty becomes 120+ like an option to retire a younger cat earlier to have it as a pet.
I'm glad though they recently made a pet food recovery vitamin which makes cats on pet food instantly gain love again.
Because yes, it is a pitty when we lose valuable breeding days on some cats.

Food recovery prevents one from starving your cats, or having them on low-consumption, then feeding/switching to breedable-comsumption and instantly having them ready to produce a box. Eliminating the delay, even with potions, would lead to abuse and severely unbalance the game.

Thats sounds strange unbalance the game, i wasnt saying:
instantly producing a new box, i was saying instantly on breed food.

Now if i switch back it costs me 1 week double food and 1 week to regain love
like a new born. Its more like a money pit then game getting unbalanced.
