Cat Singing

It was the early 1990s and l lived on Jeanne-Mance, a bit south of Van Horne. One summer evening I heard a pretty, eerie sound coming from the alley through my open patio doors. It was two cats singing a duet. I had never heard cats make sounds like that. It was really pretty. Later that evening Neil Young's Harvest Moon came on the radio. Parts of that song sound very much like the duet I had just heard. One part is when the two ladies sing ooooooo. Another part is in the refrain when Neil Young sings, "on this harvest moon", including the accompanying ooooooo. Neil Young - Harvest Moon:

Fireflies

Does anyone know when fireflies mate on the island of Montreal? That's when they light up their bums at each other. I saw them one summer in Centennial Park (DDO) and I don't remember what part of the summer. It was very cool.
