Fiona Campbell Smith, 57 years old, is the owner of the animal. She shared: “People come here to visit the cat, not the town. I have to inform them that it is just a normal cat. But they have never been disappointed when they meet Parsley. It makes them happy.” They had fun during the holiday.”

This animal has a strange habit of often running away from home, from the age of 8 months, and often goes to pubs in town. So Fiona had to put on a GPS tracking device.
