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
Santa Paws
Twas the week before Christmas, and this time of year I’m a kitten at heart; when Santa Paws Comes to Town and fills my paw-printed stocking with treats and perhaps a little catnip furr yours truly. I’m starting to get a Holly Jolly feeling that one week furrom today my Halls will be Decked with empty boxes fur me to explore, shreds of festive wrapping paper to run through, bows and ribbons to floss with, and a wonderland of turkey to gorge on.
You can bet […]
The Hairball Blues
Here we go again – My little sister hasn’t been feeling well furr the past few days and your furry friend has been hard at work keeping spirits high at home. Apparently, you humans have a habit of falling ill when the temperatures drop. As an indoor kitty, I can relate. Whenever I take a brief break from my napping and turkey lifestyle to bathe I run the risk of catching every cat’s worst enemy- the dreaded hairball. If I spend a little too much […]
Snowed In
Good morning, furriends! I’m not sure how much snow you have at your house, but at my house we have a good 2 feet! You could say we were snowed in – thank goodness I’m an indoor kitty! There is however one huge purrroblem with all this snow; it makes it really hard to watch my birdies. Oh humbug! I love my front row seat for bird spying, but with mountains of snow piled up, my little feathered friends hardly ever come down where I […]
Turketarian
Given tomorrow’s Turkey motif, I thought it might be appurropriate to discuss my love for the famous bird. Well, fur me, it’s more of a lifestyle choice really. Some of you may choose to eat exclusively vegetables, or –even stranger- fish (you pesky pescatarians). I, on the other paw, am a self-purr-claimed Turketarian [spelling courtesy of Hillshire Farm]. My purrentes buy turkey deli meat for the sole purpose of feeding this habit. Spoiled much? I think NOT! Purrhaps my love fur this delicious meat stems […]
