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
Zooming with Furriends
I’ve seen my mom FaceTime with friends and family a thousand times and have even purrticipated a time or two.
It’s cool, but so old school.
All the ‘cool cats’ are using Zoom chats now-a-days so I decided to take matters into my own paws and try it fur myself! It turns out its actually quite fun – especially with the windows open, it puts a little extra spring of excitement in my step!
You simply, wake up furrom your cat nap, and after arching your back – […]
Finding the Positive
Last week, I was somewhat purrturbed when my whole world was turned upside down and my routine was thrown all out of whack – not an ideal situation furr a feline like me.
We are now a week and a half into my purrents working from home and I’ve had time to reflect on my purrdicament – and I’m trying to find some positives.
The extra turkey throughout the day is most definitely satisfying my taste buds and the extra hair brushing and sponge baths really make […]
Weird times
It feels like something from a bad dream during a cat nap. Quarantine; twenty-furr seven with my family. Something I thought furr sure would never happen in my nine lives.
My mom is diving me nuts! She’s a neat-furreak to begin with, but scurrying about with that noisy vacuum everyday is a bit much. There can’t possibly be that many hair balls tumbling around… as such, there are only a few carfurrly selected places I catnap.
As furr my baby sister, is it really necessary to have […]
A Scaredy-Cat about the Coronavirus
Through the ambient evening sounds of my sister running around and pots and pans clanging while dinner is being prepared, my ears are angled toward the television. I hear the news about COVID-19 or the coronavirus as it’s refurred to by you humans.
Just because I’m an indoor kitty, doesn’t mean the outside world doesn’t affect me.
Truth be told, I don’t know where my purrents and kid sister have been all day, if they sang the birthday song while they […]
