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
My middle name
My name is Otis, but when I’m in trouble (which hardly ever happens, except for when I jump up on the counter), my mom calls me Otis Joe. Why Joe? Well, My great grandpa’s real name (my mom’s grandpa) is Ronald, but as the story goes, furr no rhyme or reason Ronald’s grandfather called him Joe, and it’s stuck for all these years. My mom’s name is Ashley Jo (the feminine spelling for Joe), in honor of her grandpa. The name I was given at […]
Soooo tired
It’s hard work being a party animal. Now that my birthday week has passed, it’s time some for some serious R&R – all day, everyday. There are just somany places to catnap; it’s hard to pick my favorite so I switch it up to keep things exciting (and to keep my pet parents guessing where I’ll be when they get home furrom work). The back of the couch is always comfortable – it also makes it easy to keep an eye on everything going on […]
Birthday week
Welcome back my feline followers –
I hope you all had a great week! On Saturday, I officially made it through my furrst year as being a big brother. Ellie, aka, my little human sister, turned one. And later this week (tomorrow in fact) I’m turning double digits –the Big 1-0! In human years, I believe that is 50. As I reflect on my life, I have a few regrets; not drinking more milk in my youth, meowing for more deli turkey and Friskey’s Party Mix […]
My First Post
Hey guys, that’s for stopping by, it’s so nice to meet you!
As much as I want to tell you all about myself-which I will in my weekly posts-I wanted to introduce you to my family furrrst. My [crazy] cat mom, Ashley, is the one taking this picture, she is also the director of advertising for the magazine. She smothers me with kisses, which I don’t like so much, but I’m honored to be her “furrrst born”! My dad, Fred, is the head carpenter of Nailed […]
