This is the meaning of home to me

My meaning of home is shelter, my cats, my mother but other people may have different ideas about what it means to them I chose those three things because they are basically essential to me because I love my cats, without shelter I’d probably get sick and probably die. And without my mother I would be lost, and I would lose everything. I think a home protects you from the outdoors and keeps you warm from the outside world. Another reason is that I think it protects me from animals too and a home is where I can celebrate my birthday. My cats make my home feel safe and comfy and when I’m sad I pet them, and it makes me feel good. Another reason is that I’ve had them for a long time, and I would be sad if they died. Without my mother in the home, it would feel empty. Without my mother I would not have a home. Another reason is that I would starve, and I would eventually starve to death from lack of food, and she makes me feel loved, supported and safe. I also need my mother for love and affection These are the things that make a perfect home for me. I need shelter to protect myself, I need my cats for a furry friend by my side and I need a furry friend by my side.
