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
It’s All Fun and Games
My kid sister thinks it’s so much fun to play with my toys. Which is fine; I don’t play with them too much and sharing is caring — right?
Or purrhaps one cat’s old toys is a little humans treasure. Any-who…
When she’s actually playing with her toys I like to sniff around to see if there’s something that tickles my whiskers (curious and all that). Most of the time I’m not interested. That is until recently when the mailman showed up with a small box furrom […]
So Long Summer
The realization that summer has come to its ultimate end has hit home for yours truly.
As with each season in our neck of the woods, these changes bring with them their own purro’s and cons.
Here are a few from my feline perspective:
Cons (because I’m a natural pessimist) : The birdies are flocking to their winter destination, meaning there will soon be significantly less chattering with my feathered furriends. The air conditioning has been turned off fur the season, but here at home, my family and […]
Back to School
Perhaps unsurpurrisingly, summer has flown by once again this year and in some fashion, the kiddos are gearing up to go back to school.
I’ve purrsonally been home schooled my entire life. Obviously, I don’t do well with transpurrtation of any kind let alone the public variety, and the thought of riding a ginormous yellow rig with LOTS of kids scares the bah-Jeepers out of me. Also I’m told the older you are, the less nap times are offurred, which would really bring out my cattitude.
Thus, […]
Wicker Baskets
As we are all painfully aware of by now, my mother is a bit “cat crazy”. However, what most of you furrnatics might not know is that she’s also a certified neat freak. Fur example, recently my mother proclaimed that my kid sister had “outgrown” the toy baskets in her room (is this even a thing?). She promptly went online and spent the next few days researching different baskets in an attempt to find the purffect replacements. Needless to say, by miscalculating the basket’s overall […]
