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
The Best Purrthday Purresent
In case you don’t recall, allow me to refurresh your memory. Mom always had at least one cat in the household since the day she came home furrom the hospital, so when Mom moved away furrom home (which was a whopping fifteen minutes away), she literally cried like a baby because she missed her cats so much. Against his better judgment, the tears wore Dad down and he allowed her to adopt ONE cat, but it had to be a male, and a […]
Lickin’ My Chops
How’s everyone’s Novempurr going so far? With the pawliday’s coming up, the fam-bam has been supurr busy ironing out details of who’s hosting what holiday. As you know, Mom and Dad aren’t exactly social butterflies, so they usually get off the hook with hosting, but that’s all about to change. It’s been six years since Mom and Dad hosted a pawliday at the ole homestead, so with guilt eating away at her, Mom reluctantly volunteered to host Turkey Day.
At furrst I was […]
No Tricks, All Treats!
Happy (day after) Halloween, furriends. I know you were hoping to hear all about my night out and seeing pictures of me rocking the unicorn costume Mom had helped me pick out, but there was a last minute change of plans. Cha-boy got suppurr lucky this year. I didn’t have to get dressed up or step a paw out of the house to get some tasty treats. Ellie hooked a brother up! She understood my three meow’s in a row as “trick-or-treat” and ran […]
If You’re a Unicorn, I’m a Unicorn
Whelp, we’re officially less than a week away furrom Halloween and I still have no clue what I’m going to be. I suppose I’ve spent too much time working on my beauty sleep and not enough time focusing on important things like my costume. If I remember correctly, my costume idea from last year was a complete flunk. I nevfurr had time to get that hind leg sleeve tattoo I wanted to fit the part of Maui, and I most definitely don’t have time […]
