A metaphor compares two objects that are different without like or as. A metaphor would be "the moon is a cookie". Kick him right square does not compare two things, so it would not be a metaphor. It seems more like an idiom, which does not mean what it is saying. For example, the idiom "Kick the bucket" means death, but a new speaker to English cannot tell because it does not mean what it literally says.
# Fill the 5 liter bucket # Pour it into the 7 liter bucket # Fill the 5 liter bucket # Fill the 7 liter bucket from the 5 (2 liters go in leaving 3 liters in the 5 liter bucket) # Empty the 7 liter bucket # Pour the 3 liters from the 5 liter bucket into the 7 liter bucket # Fill the 5 liter bucket # Fill the 7 liter bucket from the 5 liter bucket (4 liters go in leaving 1 liter in the 5 liter bucket) # Empty the 7 liter bucket # Pour the 1 liter form the 5 liter bucket into the 7 liter bucket # fill the 5 liter bucket. You now have 5 liters in the 5 liter bucket and 1 liter in the 7 liter bucket; 6 liters in all. Pour the 5 liters into the 7 liter bucket if you want all 6 liters in one container.

No animal should live in a bucket. I recommend buying a couple gallon plastic tank. Put sand, water, food, etc. On average they can live for 6 months in a bucket. But, they will probally kick the bucket soon.
