Five a day

Five a day is an National Health Service campaign to get people eating enough fresh fruit and vegetables. The idea is that you should eat five full portions of fruit and vegetables every day as part of a balanced diet. Some people have had problems with it. Just to reiterate, the following items are not recommended as part of your five a day:

• Orange Fanta
• Pizza
• Life Savers
• Crisps
  
  Smith is just using these mice as exercise by the way. The cat equivalent of five-a-day is to do 40 pounces a day.

Boing!

I've seen this happen so many times with real-world Smudge. She spots something to pounce on, her eyes dilate to black holes, her whiskers move forward, she crouches down, her bottom starts waggling, her head tips jerkily to one side and then she pounces... and it all goes wrong. It's like cats sometimes get so excited that they short circuit.

Incidentally, I should have coloured in Smith's tongue in panel three.
