Cessation of perception and feeling means what it says.
Nibbana with residue also means what it says.
“What, bhikkhus, is the Nibbāna-element with residue left? Here a bhikkhu is an arahant, one whose taints are destroyed, the holy life fulfilled, who has done what had to be done, laid down the burden, attained the goal, destroyed the fetters of being, completely released through final knowledge. However, his five sense faculties remain unimpaired, by which he still experiences what is agreeable and disagreeable and feels pleasure and pain. It is the extinction of attachment, hate, and delusion in him that is called the Nibbāna-element with residue left.
Nibbana is simply cessation of craving buddha said when feeling cease craving also cease
But for the arahant, the feeling is still present - only craving(liking or disliking) ceases.
For one who enter cessation of perception and feeling feeling cease and when they emerge from that attainment feeling arise again buddha said he can only enter nibbana without residue for only 7 days because the body can't survive without feeling if it's longer than 7 days
