Now, I've looked around and checked to see if this has been posted anywhere, and it hasn't yet.

Q: If you don't pet a meeroo for X amount of time (or ever) will it run away?

Q: Will you lose regard for not petting a meeroo? (I.E, losing regard over time, like hunger?)

Q: This is a rather broad question. What exactly is the Regard Bonus? Is it something you see only once in a while? Is it something that takes precedence over genetics? Exactly how does it work? Any and all information on this would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to hear player's answers, not just staff. I've heard a lot of rumors from hundreds of people about Regard and whatnot, and I'd like to be sure before I make any serious decisions.
