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
Snug as a Bug
I furr one, love this time of year! Unlike you silly humans, who get all excited about sweater weather, I look forward to snuggling under the blankets whenever I get a chance. I also go under the blankets to escape my mother’s endless array of scented fall candles; there’s only so much Pumpkin Spice one feline can take!
Blankets also makes for an effective hiding place furr a scaredy cat like myself from the ghouls and goblins that start making their annual appearance on front lawns […]
Pet Peeve
I want a show of paws, how many of you have a pet peeve?
Mine is having people touch my paws. Don’t get me wrong, I like being pet and all. Getting the extra attention as a long-haired cat has its purrks, but purretty please leave my toe fluff alone! They are only supposed to be used furr swatting remote controls and human hands out of the way, scratching behind my ears, batting toys around, and furr putting scratch marks in the hard wood floor when […]
Hairballs
Question of the Day: Do humans get hairballs?
My poor baby sister is currently a teething machine and according to mom has “something viral going on” at the same time, which is giving her hairballs of a different variety. My mom is home taking care of her and trying to work too, all while trying not to get sick herself, though she’s already been on the receiving end of a few my sister’s hairballs.
Ugh, I’m not used to […]
So long summer
I hope you all had a great summer, I sure did.
My days were spent -too few days really- sitting just inside the furront door chattering to, and watching the birdies build a nest for their babies. Almost all of my afternoons were spent laying in the windowsill working on my tan. I didn’t get my summer body this year, rather, I indulged in turkey deli meat. Of course, I got brushed countless times, because being a long haired cat can be extra hot in the […]
