Q: How old do you think he is?

Q: Where does Otis get his ideas from?
A: Search me. He spends most of his time asleep under a bush. However, there is a business center behind our house and from time to time he pops in to eavesdrop on meetings and private conversations. He also picks up a lot of gossip from neighborhood cats.

Q: Should I construct my personal and business strategies around Otis’s advice, using the insights he offers as the platform on which to build a cohesive framework for accelerated life and career advancement?
A: No.

Q: In that case what is the point of Otis and his personal development giftshop?
A: Otis’s role is to offer new insights into personal development. He aims to give people another way of looking at life. But don't just listen to him. His advice should be part of a balanced diet of personal development information gathered from many sources.

Q: Wouldn’t it be easier if we went straight to those other sources and cut Otis out of the loop?
A: Perhaps. But you might be getting a very human-centric view of life and miss out on the special three-legged cat insights which Otis can provide.

Q: What sort of personal characteristics does Otis have?
A: The very best. We've all been impressed by the mature and uncomplaining way he has handled his disability. Otis is a fine example to us all of how to behave in the face of adversity.

Q: Is Otis a talking cat? Does he actually speak?
A: He speaks to those who know how to listen. Like many animals he has telepathic powers, and uses these to communicate very eloquently, but not everyone can pick up his messages.

Q: Is it possible both you and Otis are insane?
A: No.

Q: Is it possible one of you is insane?
A: Hey, we seem to have run out of space here. Thanks for all the questions. And please keep them coming.
