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
You have got to be Kitten Me
Pardon the pun but, you’ve cat to be kitten me right meow…
Evfurryone knows my mom is in the frightful process of training my kid sister to be a crazy cat lady and carry on this dubious family legacy.
She has SO many cat stuffed animals – which is all fine and dandy because —as we all know— I am still my mother’s favfurrite kitty!
Recently, I ovfurrheard my Mom talking about someone by the name of Stella.
Who is Stella? And why does she make it sound like […]
The “Cat-Mom” voice
Befurr my sister was born, my purrents took a vow between each other to nevfurr speak “baby” to her. They’ve done a supurrb job sticking to this promise – I on the other hand, am not exempt from this rule. My mother calls this torturous language her “cat-mom” voice.
Evfurr since I was a kitten, my mother has ALWAYS spoken to me in this “cat-mom” voice.
[Insert eye roll!]
The volume level of this voice of course belongs in another stratosphere of decibels – so much so that […]
Happy Father’s Day!
I would like to start off by saying how much I love my dad – despite his hesitations when it came time to adopt me.
He does so much fur the family, so I purrsonally celebrate my Dad evfurryday, not just on Father’s Day. And after all, I have chosen him as my human (sorry Mom!).
He is the ultimate couch-potato pal; where we catch up on manly shows like UFC, Counting Cars, Forged in Fire, and Ink Masters.
He also doesn’t mind sharing a good snack while […]
Reflections on a Summer Bod
As I was getting ready fur the day this morning, plucking my whiskers and grooming myself to be presentable enough for my mother’s persistent photo shoots, I was shocked to find an abundance of extra fluff staring back at me in the mirror.
I am keenly aware that summer’s official commencement is only a few weeks away. Like most humans, I had the purrest of intentions this past winter of having and maintaining the purrfect summer body.
Now, considering this morning’s portly discovery, I’m not sure if […]
