Mouselemming

One use for a phone book was to prop a little kid in a regular chair so they could eat at the table. Like, after they outgrew a baby highchair and could balance on their own. Also you could prove your strength by ripping one in half.

Listings were usually under the name of the adult male, for safety as well as sexism. A woman living alone would probably use just her initials for safety.

That's great! Mine always turn gray as soon as the weather gets cool and moist.

Spaying her will settle her hormones, give her one less reason to try to get out, and will stop any neighborhood tomcats from trying to get in! It's very much worth doing. Afterwards she may need to wear a onesie for a little while to keep her from licking her stitches, you know how raspy kitty tongues can be.

That's definitely NOT a bedpan, it's way too shallow. I've seen pewter bowls shaped like that for displaying fruit, but in my head canon it's for Communion wafers.
