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
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 […]
Cheesin’ Fur The Check-Up
Momma isn’t raising a fool. Despite her efforts of buying me a new cat carrier and opening a new bag of treats to try to lure me into the carrier, I knew something was up her sleeve. I made a run fur it and did my best to hide, but Mom found me. After a quick battle, Mom finally managed to load me in and purromptly carried me out to the car so we “wouldn’t be late.” Late fur what? You nevfurr told me […]

Mom definitely appurreciates a good photograph when she sees one. She’s also watched many Instagram videos on furrtography hacks, and keeps her iPhone models up to date to ensure the best quality photo of her […]
