Where cat visits cluster across Portsmouth
Cat work in Portsmouth follows the people who travel most. Southsea and Old Portsmouth hold the professional and renting base near the seafront, where indoor cats need feeding and litter while owners are at sea or on a ferry trip. Cosham and North End add commuter households along the mainland edge, and Drayton and Eastney bring quieter residential streets where families book cover for the school holidays. Morning and evening slots go first, and plenty of owners want one or two visits a day.
