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?

One might think that just because I’m an indoor kitty, my pawliday stress levels are lower than your avfurrage feline — Wrong!

Fur starters, there’s oodles of wrapping to do and quite frankly, my little paws are getting tired furrom holding down the wrapping paper and batting bows around – especially when it’s Mom who’s in charge of wrapping gifts. She’s always ovfurr the top with ribbons and bows.

The 13 Santa Paws are coming furrom Iceland
Allow me to break a bit of unique pawliday tradition down for you dear reader:
My dad is furrom Iceland, and in Iceland they have 13 Santa Paws, or Yule Lads as they are sometimes called elsewhere in the world. Since I’m half Icelandic, the 13 Icelandic Santa Paws come all the way to America to visit me … and maybe Ellie if she’s been good.
Tradition in Iceland says that 13 days befurr Christmas, starting on the eve of December 12th, one by one, the Santa […]
O Christmas Tree
Well folks, the Christmas tree is up and might I say it looks purrfect!
I think Santa Paws will appurrove, too.
Ellie and I only helped a little bit with the decorating, though she was excited to put the balls on the tree (aka ornaments) and to play with Mom’s elf decorations. Silly Ellie, she thought they were babies. At least that kept her busy and out of Mom and Dad’s hair for most of the tree trimming. As usual, I was in and out of boxes […]
Thankful fur Turkey and more
