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
Staying Cactive
It’s been a tough transition –trying to become more cactive, but I’m doing my best. Of course, I’m still purracticing yoga, purrpoper back stretches, and running up and down the stair master, but I’ve been also playing with some of my old toys again.
Big surpurrise: my catnip mousy is still my favfurrite!
This past week I’ve tried adopting my kid sister’s appurroach and take more interest in the simpler things —like cardboard boxes for instance— versus playing with the more commercial options.
I figure if it’s keeping […]
Ovfurr The Hill
I would like to take a moment and thank evfurryone fur the purrthday love.
You sure do know how to make this handsome-pants feel special.
I’ve recently come to the sobering realization that I’m officially ovfurr the hill. In order to keep myself in the best shape possible, live a long, healthy life (and keep up with my kid sister), I’m purrticipating in few new daily activities.
Starting with some basic stretching and, dare I say it, even a bit of yoga. These kinds of limbering exercises feel […]
Purrthdays
Raise your paw if your purrthday is in August!
There are so many August purrthdays in my family, not including my own. Both of my Grandmothers’ purrthdays are back- to-back; August 6th and 7th respectfully. I have a couple Aunts with purrthdays too, and, not to be outdone, my kid sister just turned two years old this past Monday, August 10th.
My parents profess that they’re entering the “terrible two’s” though I’m not sure anything could be worse than my sister’s time spent teething. Poor kid, she’s […]
Dinosaurs
There are many purrks to summer.
Basking in the sun that shines through the window, watching my family play in the kitty pool, and the scent of the furresh outdoors on evfurryones clothes.
Ah! But of course with the good, comes the bad.
My purrents tell folks that I am the very definition of a “scaredy-cat”, and I cannot completely deny this. Especially when it comes to the terrifying summer night thunderstorms. Or has my sister has dubbed them – dinosaurs!
To make matters worse, the rain on our […]
