If you’ve ever owned a cat, you already know… they don’t just live in your house.
They own it. 🐾
But beyond the whiskers and the occasional 3 a.m. zoomies, there are some very real reasons why owning a cat is actually great for homeowners — especially here in Prince George.
Cats make a house feel like home
There’s something about walking through the door after a long day of showings and having a little furry supervisor waiting for you. A cat adds warmth, routine, and that quiet companionship that turns four walls into something personal. Buyers often talk about “feel.” Well, cats are basically professional vibe enhancers.
They’re condo and house friendly
Unlike larger pets, cats adapt beautifully to many property types — from downtown condos to larger family homes. That flexibility matters. If you’re downsizing, upsizing, or relocating within Prince George, your cat can usually adjust without missing a beat (as long as the sunny window spots are secured ☀️).
Low maintenance, high return
Compared to many pets, cats are relatively independent. They don’t need backyard fencing or daily winter walks when it’s -25°C and snowing sideways. For homeowners who want companionship without the heavy upkeep, cats are a purr-fect fit. (Yes. I went there. 😼)
Natural stress relief
Real estate can be exciting… and sometimes a little nerve-wracking. Studies have shown that spending time with cats can reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Petting a cat after reviewing offers? Highly recommended. Better than refreshing REALTOR.ca every five minutes.
They encourage pride in your space
Cat owners tend to create cozy nooks, window perches, and comfortable corners. That attention to comfort often translates into thoughtful home care overall. A well-loved home shows better — and yes, I’ve seen it.
Built-in security system
No, they won’t chase off intruders. But they will alert you to absolutely everything. A leaf blowing across the deck? Noted. A neighbour walking by? Monitored. A mysterious sound at 2 a.m.? Full investigation underway.
At the end of the day, a home isn’t just square footage, number of bedrooms, or lot size. It’s who (and what) you share it with. 🏡
And if your home includes a sunbeam, a soft couch, and a cat who believes they’re in charge… you’re probably doing something right.
