WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO MEET OTIS JOE, A CAT LIKE NO OTHER
OTIS JOE & ASHLEY JO
Our director of advertising Ashley Kristjansson is a self proclaimed crazy cat lady … with only one cat. Luckily for Ashley, and now the entire world, that one feline is a world class nap taker, the gold standard of grumpiness, and God’s gift to Instagram. Everyday, tens of hundreds of people are inspired by the one and only Otis Joe to cuddle, mooch, and snack on turkey deli meat to their heart’s content. Otis is a soon to be ten year old house kitty, his lineage is unknown-like most comic book heroes-but mom Ashley believes he is part Turkish Van, perhaps explaining his love for the aforementioned sandwich meat. “I love him as though he were my furrrst born, I am his familiar if you will, unfortunately, my husband is his favorite person-reluctantly I might add-but I will continue to fight for his undying love and attention.” His life has been full of ups and downs, from his early experiences with the outside world to the comfort of his cat stroller, as well as his long battle with “cat acne” Otis has etched his name into the annuals of cat history. Now, for the first time ever, the legendarily lazy feline will allow our cameras into his everyday life. Main Street Magazine and its readers have been granted one of a kind access to the King of Catnaps and all of his furbaby adventures, won’t you join us? What do you say Otis?

THE OTIS FEED: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF
A Christmas Miracle
Ho ho hello furriends,
The pawlidays are upon us and Santa Paws is coming next week! Imagine to your surprise (and mine) I don’t have anything in particular on my list this year. I’m sure the big guy knows by now I’d never turn down pawty-‘mix and catnip. Paws crossed Santa Paws brings you something good, too!
Purrhaps what I should be asking fur is a Christmas miracle. I’m not sure how else to break the news to you all, but I’m officially retiring […]
Picture Purrfect
Mom likes to keep updated pictures of us kids in the house and usually uses school pictures as the purrfect opportunity to do so.
Ellie recently had picture day at school and (unfortunately) her track record requires her to have to purrticipate in picture retake day. I’m happy to report that this year on the furrist try, her picture came out gorgina! (That’s how the cool cats abbreviate gorgeous.) Her hair sported soft curls, her smile is on point, and her necklace is purrfectly […]
Stressing Meowt!
Hi furriends! Sorry if it looks like I’m flipping the bird, but I am starting to feel seasonal stress sneaking up on me and I think talking it out might help?
Furrist and foremost—I know I go through this evfurry year, but I still don’t have a Halloween costume picked out. The time crunch is really stressing meowt, so I think I’ll just dress as a cat. I feel confident I can pull it off. I already have the whiskers, pointy ears, long tail, and the […]
A Close Call
Mom loves her job and has received many compliments fur her advertising assistance. You might be surpurrised to know, but she sometimes jokes that she missed her calling in life as a doctor. She often knows how to treat certain illnesses without even seeing an actual doctor…the only thing she’s lacking is the white coat, official name badge, and the authority to write purrescriptions. Whelp, recently I stumped Mom and she threatened to take me to the veterinary urgent care.
You’re purrobably wondering […]
