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.”

Many people even sent messages on Facebook to find town address information and ask for suggestions on where to stay. Fiona had to print out all the hotel information and give it to the tourists.

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. She discovered that Parsley also visited many different stores, beauty salons, barbershops, relaxation areas, fast food restaurants, and even a distillery.
