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
Transpurrtation
This week’s post is inspired by Main Street Magazine’s May issue. The fine folks at MSM dedicated this purrticular issue to transportation.
Fun right? Well…
Not many of you may know this about cha’ boy but back in the day, when I was a kitten, I longed to see the great outdoors. And staring out the window just wasn’t cutting the mustard.
I cried and cried at the door – so my mom decided to tap into my turkey fund and bought me a stroller.
What’s wrong with that? […]
Purrsonal Hygiene
So it’s time fur some real talk.
I realize that a few weeks ago I said that when this whole quarantine thing is over I’d miss my family,
but ya know – things change.
I want my catnaps to go uninterrupted fur once! Is that really too much to ask? I think I’m starting to get bags under my eyes – is even possible fur cats?
In an effort to keep myself in the best shape possible, I’m taking matters into my own pitty-paws and working overtime to maintain […]
My Bar(n) Days
All this extra time on my paws has me thinking of my younger days, about a decade ago if you want to get a little more specific. Crazy how time flies and how many cat lives I’ve used since then, but I’ll never furrget my bar(n) days.
You see, I was quit literally raised in a barn. When my purrents adopted me, they were living in an apartment above a horse barn. I of course have always been an indoor kitty, but my feline furriends, who […]
Hoppy (belated) Easter furriends!
Furr me, Easter is just as exciting as Christmas – minus the Christmas tree, snow on the ground, paw print stocking, and Santa Paws himself.
Howevfurr, this time of year, there are bright colored eggs furr me to bat around, jelly beans in purretty bowls on the counter (shhhh, don’t tell my purrents I was on the counter!), and Easter baskets abound furr me to sit in.
Hey; if it fits, I sits!
I just have to keep reminding myself the shiny pink grass in my sisters basket […]
