John Lennon said, "Imagine all the people living life in peace." After living with three other human beings and two other animals, peace has entered my life. I am not sure who is happier about having our own space -- Big or me.

While it may be a toss up on who is happier, we are both at peace. Big can finally stretch himself to full length on the floor, roll around a little and purr loud enough to bring the cows home without a small yipping dog or another cat bothering him. He is back to having his own litter box along with food and water dishes. He also gets all the windows in the house to himself.

As for me, I am enjoying watching what I want on television; leaving my pajamas on the bathroom floor; and taking a shower when it's suitable for my schedule. It sounds selfish, but those are some of the perks to living on your own.
