Way back in 1975, I started a PhD research project on the feral cats that lived in Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

This site provides some information about my study.

You may have seen the dockyard cats in a short section about my research in the BBC World About Us programme, "The Curious Cat", which has been repeated a number of times over the years. (That programme was mainly about the rural cat study supervised by Dr David Macdonald.)
