A Street Cat Named Bob

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to each and every one of you!  The video I have chosen for this post is a beautiful 2 minute clip entitled "A Street Cat Named Bob". Enjoy!  :)

It is still very hot and humid here in Montreal...even though we did have some welcome thunderstorms yesterday! Speaking of heat waves, I learned something new today.  I was reading in our local Montreal newspaper...The Gazette, that those who are most affected by the heat are the elderly, young children, people with asthma and heart conditions...BUT what I learned is that they also said that people with mental illness are more prone to suffering in this intense heat.  This I didn't know before.  So if you have a heat wave and you deal with mental illness, (depression, OCD, etc.), take extra precautions in this weather.

The photos I am sharing today are ones that I took yesterday, just after the rain.  You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.




Thank you all so much for visiting me here!  I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share by clicking on the 'comments' link at the end of my post.

  7. The heat seems to be everywhere!! We have the A/C's blasting - and the OVEN on!!! Go figure! We're having a dinner party and Louis Dean chose a menu more in keeping with a winter's evening than a summer day!!

  9. I loved the video! You know how I love cats, so this was a treat for me. I'm going to have to look for that book.

    I didn't know that about the effects of heat on people with mental illness. Thanks for sharing the news. It's very hot and humid here, too. Trying to stay cool!

  11. It's very hot here in Toronto too! And we didn't get any thunderstorms at my house - although there were some to the east of the city.
    Your flowers are lovely. I love the hosta leaf. :)

  12. Właściciel i kotek na filmie to cudowna para. Dobrze, ze trochę deszczu spadło, jeśli są upały. Pozdrawiam.
    The owner and the cat in the video is a wonderful pair. Well, with a little rain fell, if heat. Yours.

  14. Coming from a country that's hot and humid nearly everyday, I can definitely empathize with how uncomfortable it can get. Here's hoping the weather cools down for you very soon!

  15. Linda, also here is heat. Reasonable. It is not hot and not cold. It was not raining for almost three weeks. I love this weather. Winter here in the ugly - Summer might still be. Someone hates the heat, but I do. It's the grandmother who liked hot weather. I guess I inherited.

  16. I sent the info about the book to my older daughter. She loves cats and cat stories. Yes, we seem to be in typical mid-July weather. In about six weeks, we might start seeing a break in it. We have been fortunate that it was not as hot in June as in past years due to the rainfall we have had this year.

  17. I would love to read the book about Bob. It is a sweet video and they seem so comfortable with each other. Your flowers look so refreshed after the rain. It has been excessively hot here in Michigan but relief is suppose to be on the way tomorrow after a few storms later today.

  20. Linda - that Bob is beautiful and what a sweet story of a love between a man and his cat. I have never seen a Yellow tabby I didn't love. Thanks for sharing your photos after the rain. Such beautiful daisies.
