Ask Richmond can someone help take care of my senior cat?
I’ve posted about tommy before. He got rehomed but the person ended up not wanting tommy due to his peeing problem. My mom won’t let me have him back no matter what and we’ve argued about this a lot. I really don’t want to send tommy to the shelter since he’s a senior cat. I love tommy with my whole heart and i’ve had him since i was 4. please reach out if anyone is willing to take him. I really don’t want to do this but i have to:( he’s a really affectionate cat. 😞 RAPS cat santurary has a long wait time and i don’t know what to do.

Ask Richmond Chinese Restaurant Recommendations for 13-Person Wedding Dinner?
Hello!
My partner and I are planning a micro wedding in April/May 2025 and are opting for a family dinner instead of a traditional reception. We’ll have 11 guests (13 people total, including us) and are looking for a Chinese restaurant that ideally offers a private room. Does anyone have recommendations for restaurants with private room options, as well as information on minimum spending requirements?
Thanks in advance!

Ask Richmond Young Couple Budged in Front of Me at Restaurant
Walked into Gami Sushi on No 3 today and held the door for a young Chinese couple behind me. While I was waiting to be seated, her and her boyfriend(presumably), squeezed beside me to seat themselves. I'm uncertain if it's because their understanding of English or etiquette is not up to Canadian standards or if they just don't care. I don't go out as much as I used to, does this happen often?
