Pablo is small (yet large) and cannot fend for himself.
The vet has informed me that Pablo should eat four cans of wet food each day. At first, this seemed to me (and may seem to you) like way way way too much food.
I discussed this with Pablo's vet at length, who convinced me that this is the correct quantity (for now) to allow Pablo to safely and gradually progress along his long (long) road to a healthy weight. Over time, Pablo's diet will be updated (read: reduced).
Bowls and food are on the counter next to the sink:
And here's where/how he's used to the food once it's “served”:
Pablo drinks water from the fountain in the living room. Please top it up to the “Max” fill line. Don't pick up the fountain itself (it's plugged in); instead, use the bottle next to the sink (or anything really) to bring water to the fountain.
Here's a pic:
Pablo's litter box is in the closet. Right next to it is something called a “Litter Genie”, which is basically an airtight poop container. Open the lid of the genie and, using the scooper next to his litter box, hoist the turds into the genie. Close the lid. Then, pull the tray forward and out, allowing the contents to tumble down into the storage area. Release the tray, which creates an airtight seal around the storage area.

Pablo is wary of people he doesn't know, and will likely hide from you. His favorite spots to do so are:
The easternmost hall closet:
Behind the couch:
Sometimes Pablo hides even when I'm around. When he does, I usually just let him be. However if you want to temp him out in an attempt to give him some pets and whatnot, you should try using...
Pablo really likes Greenies and Churus. I use them to buy his love. I encourage you to do the same.
Treats can be found on the second shelf of the storage rack in the kitchen:
One of his favorite brushes is there too if you wanna go for it! Just be sure to put the fur in the garbage so he doesn't eat it - which he will 100% attempt to do.
