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
Congratulations On 60 Years!
It’s been 60 years (that’s ten human years) and a lot has happened both purrsonally and purrofessionally. Dad has built several houses furrom the ground up (that’s a lot of nails, Nailed It!), we moved into our furrever home, I became a big brother, had some dental work done (thank you again turkey God’s fur the teef I have left), enjoyed countless catnaps, and lived through a pandemic – just to name a few. Purrhaps one of the most monumental moments during these last […]
Feline Nostalgic
Birdie was gifted to me when I was a kitten by Mom and Dad. This beautiful red bird, with a bright yellow beak and feet, fluffy green feathers that repurresented its hair and tail, and a pop of white and blue on the wings, quickly became my most favfurrite toy of all time! Although Birdie is not embedded with catnap and was quite literally half my size, we had the best time together! I used to toss Birdie in the air with my teef only […]
An Unexpected Makeovfurr
The subject line this week purrobably purrked your interest, so I’ll cut right to the chase.
Ellie had another cousin sleepovfurr this past weekend. Unlike the last sleepovfurr with three cousins, Ellie just invited Wizabella (as she’s dubbed her) this time. I much purrfurr it this way; it was so much quieter and speaking on Mom’s behalf, there was much less to pick up after. Or maybe it’s because the girls are a little older now? Anywho, you know me…Mr. Curious (actually I just made […]
I Love My Entire Family
This past weekend Mom and Dad decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day early with a couples massage, a dinner date, and shopping. When they arrived home I was starving! They were late feeding me dinner. Once my belly was full I realized something was diffurrent in the house.
Spurr of the moment, Ellie had her very furrst sleepovfurr at Amma and Afi’s (that’s Icelandic for Grandma and Grandpa). Mom said she felt like she was missing a limb and Dad said the house was too quiet […]
