If you’ve ever wondered what obsidian actually is, I posted about it here.
They did look for an actual obsidian kitten (to no avail), but I’m thinking that you probably can’t carve kittens, cats, or much of anything more detailed than arrowheads out of nuggets of volcanic glass. But they did find this:
I love her little silver eyes and necklace. At first I thought she was made from different layered stones, but it’s actually just one stone. I swear, rocks are so incredible.
Candy Corn, Aliens, Llama, Llama, Duck
Oh, you’re one of the few people on the interweb who’s actually never heard the Llama-Llama-Duck song? You’ve been deprived of a few moments of true joy.
here's a llama
there's a llama
and another little llama
fuzzy llama
funny llama
llama llama
duck
Oh, but wait, there’s more. And there’s the pictures that go with the song...you really should just go see for yourself. (But be forewarned, it will probably be stuck in your head for days, and if you have kids, they'll be singing it over, and over, and over...)

That is a strange bunch of pictures and lyrics for a song! And no, I hadn't seen it before ;o) Cute order from Masala and your parents brought awesome geological gifts -- the cat is VERY COOL! Thanks for sharing it all with us too :o)
That cat is gorgeous, as is the arrowhead. I have a quartz spearhead that I found when I was a kid... Have you ever read Annals of the Former World by John McPhee? (Actually, I listened to the indvidual books on tape.) If you like geology, it's an especially cool book.
Super cool Mousie Masala goodies!
Glad to know that I am not the only one who had not heard the song! Love the cat!! When I was little we used to search for arrowheads in my grandmothers back yard - and we did actually find some... Not obsidian though - very cool!!
Oh no! I didn't even go to the website and I'm singing Llama, llama, duck in my head. Owwwie!
The stone kitty is gorgeous. Your parents have good taste.
Oh Gee.. you should have told me and I'd have 'given' you some cat hair! hee hee! I'm glad you liked your order.. thanks for the link!
Your gemstone cat is really cool.. I love it!
Well that was the first time I ever heard Llama Llama..Yes, it made me laugh.
I will see your sister in law this coming week, perhaps she will sing it at the dinner table..LOL
oh, i'm so glad i could inflict Llama Llama Duck on everyone. it is not to be missed.
i used to look for arrowheads when i was a kid, but never found any. i love rocks, though.
when we moved here i was completely fascinated to learn that they found mastodon bones just a mile from our house when the people living there went to dig themselves a pond. yeah--actual mastodon bones! imagine finding those while looking for arrowheads...THAT would've really made me one excited child.
i keep telling mr. o'kitten that any day now the woolly mammoths may just come lumbering by (although to date only a wild boar has been spotted...not sure i want to bump into him in the dark, though)
oh, i should probably add that aforementioned wild boar was shot and killed, so i don't have to worry about stumbling into that particular beast on my way to the barn. but that doesn't mean he won't have boarish friends lying in wait somewheres in the shadowy recesses of the night, right?
uh...right?
anybody...?
You're more likely to run into his revenge-minded mate. Better get that spearhead mounted on a spear.
Oh, and I am a longtime fan of the Llama song.
*leaves, singing*
ok.. i will now be singing that song on my commute as i knit... i'm sure my fellow commuters are going to be hunting you down... be sure to line up all those arrow heads... angry commuters are vicious ;) hehehe LOVE IT & now i'm going to havta make the band learn that lil rockin tune! hahahah
llama llama DUCK hahah
