This essay demonstrates that the clasical octonions are associative as an algebra in tensor category if given an adequate associator. The foundation of the essay is the equivalance between the tensor category of modules over a quasi-Hopf algebra and the tensor category of comodules over a Hopf-quasi algebra and adapts some of the results in Helena Albuquerque's and Shahn Majid's Quasialgebra Structure of the Octonions [1]. The result of our paper is that the octonions can be described as a algebra in a tensor category of Z3 2graded vectorspaces and that there exists associators such that this algebra is associative. We also demonstrate this for a particular associator.
