This animal memorial is on Palmerston's main street in a collection of local items including a waterwheel and a statue of a pair of miners finding gold. It can be easily missed when walking down the street as it is behind a fence in this public square.
The plaque reads:
Chippie the Town Cat
1985 - 2000
Palmerston was his kingdom
The streets he did roam
But alas his life has ended
He's now resting at home.
