hi guys. i have 2 cats that are overweight and have been instructed to lose weight. first one (luna) shown is at 16 lbs, and the second one shown (summer) is at 14 lbs. we've put them on diet food and feed them mostly wet food as per our vet's recommendation, but we still can't get them to lose weight. i am assuming it is because they are quite inactive, ESPECIALLY luna as she will sleep in the same spot for an entire day sometimes and only move to eat. i bought a walking pad hoping it would help, but it is really hard to get them to use it! i am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they have done to overcome it. any suggestions are welcome as i have no idea what to do at this point.

I'm 21 years old. I've been diagnosed with autism since I was 17. At this point, I've learned to adapt a lot to my environment. I still have my struggles of course, but I know how to cope with them a lot better. However, my social skills are always behind. Especially when it comes to flirting/dating. I've dated in the past, but haven't in almost 3 years. I've come to the conclusion that I don't understand how any of this works. I don't get what flirting is exactly or when people are doing it, how dynamics are supposed to work between couples, etc. In addition, I feel like a pervert whenever I have feelings for someone. I also have diagnosed PTSD from IPV, so that doesn't help my comprehension either. I don't understand any of it. I feel so lonely. So many of my friends are in relationships and I feel stuck and behind. Does anyone else feel this way? It's not even that I'm uninterested in relationships/dating, I simply just don't understand any of it.

cats at 16 and 14 lbs, need advice!

flirting is weird!!!
