Home isn't a place. Home is way more than that. Home to me is Kitkat, my lizard I love Kitkat. Every time I close my eyes I think about him, his long sharp black nails, his beautiful cage with rocks and his cute little cactus house. Everytime I’m at home with Kitkat, I play with him. Sometimes we dance and he loves to run away and jump off of me. Kitkat is my seven year old best friend. We will be Best Friends Forever. Everytime I’m playing with Kitkat I can hear the scratching sound of him running on the floor. He always slips, he's so funny and little. Kitkat is my favorite thing in the whole world, I love the smell of him, he smells like the red, juicy, sour, sweet raspberries he always eats. I love petting him, the feeling of his hard spikes on his little back, he is so cute when he's warm. He flattens himself out like a little pancake. Especially when he's swimming he looks like a little pancake so he can swim in the bathtub perfectly. Everytime I open his cage I can smell his favorite food, the red peppers he always eats when he does not want to eat his favorite food, raspberries. I don't like red peppers but we still have a lot of things in common. We both like to dance, we both like tiktok, we both like sleeping, we both like playing the same games and we both love each other. You see… To me home is not a place. Home is my best friend in the whole entire world, Kitkat.
