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 New Selfie Technique
Evfurry one takes selfies these days. Until now —due to my status as a cat sans thumbs— I’ve struggled in this department. That is, until I asked fur a sponge bath recently, which then led to an impromptu photo shoot. While Mom was trying to get the purrfect set up, she left her camera on and, boom! I took my furrst selfie, and a new selfie technique was born.
I wasn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, but let’s be honest, how many selfies have you seen […]
Dry Food Review
Not only does Mom make sure my wet food, turkey, and paw-ty mix (Friskies Party Mix) are stocked at all times, she also keeps a close eye on my dry food as well. Like any good mom, she’s always trying to get me to eat supurr healthy, but honestly, there aren’t many dry foods that satisfy my taste buds. And besides, when it comes to dieting, I live by one philosophy — YOLO.
Recently, Mom and Dad returned home furrom the grocery store with […]
I Can’t Believe My Ears!
Remember awhile back how Mom was talking about someone named Stella?
Yeah, well, I thought that was just a phase she was going through but recently I became aware of another feline in her life, apparently sporting the name Phoebe.
Who the fluff is Phoebe?! And why does Mom talk about how cute and little she is?!
I can’t believe my ears, but as the story goes, appurrarently one of Mom’s furriends rescued a newborn kitten and Mom has been kitten sitting throughout the […]
The Baby of the House
Ellie is supurr into her baby dolls lately. She holds, hugs, kisses and tells them, “don’t cry. It’s ok, I’ll help you.” When she lays them down to go night night, she even says “sweet dreams”!
It’s actually quite cute how she looks after them.
I would purresume she gets these fantastic motherly qualities furrom Mom – because let’s be real. Mom has done the same thing for me since the day she brought me home, and even at 11 years old, still treats me like her […]
