I have noticed no real difference. I did notice a change in your play from what it was a few weeks ago though and it came at about the same time as the last patch. Prior to that, I did not see you sending your cat Mirage into combat as much when in group play before. One thing that some have not realised is that when a pet is doing their natural hit point recovery, they are at that time 'burning up' their happiness rating at a greater rate than when they are just sitting around. Active pets that are constantly in combat getting a beating and ending up using their natural healing to recover a lot tend to be much hungrier pets.
For my own case with Orion, it has actually been a little bit the other way with his needing to be fed a little bit reduced if anything. I had always used him very active in combats as much as was practical. But with the patch, I was able to spec him with the Natural Armor and that has greatly reduced the amount of damage that he is taking in many combats. From that is less time needed in many cases for natural healing in between fights.
