“What’s a crash? Asked Zigger.

Boy, these cats are really stupid, thought the CyberCat, but he was too polite to say it out loud.  “A crash is when the whole world and everything in it comes to a standstill,” the CyberCat explained. “First, everyone gets paralyzed, and then everything breaks apart. After that the world is gone and there’s just this blue light, then after awhile, everything comes back. Now, me, I’ve survived seven crashes without getting corrupted or deleted.” He said proudly.

As the CyberCat was talking, Opie noticed that his coat had changed colors, it changed from a light brown with faint stripes, to an intensely red-violet color with snowflake patterns. It was so weird, Opie wondered if he was seeing things. “Am I losing my mind,” Opie asked, “Or did I just see your coat change colors?”

“Sure, I change my coat colors all the time!” said the CyberCat, “I use my own designs, too! Don’t tell me you stay the same color all the time, do you?

“Uh, where we come from, everyone stays the same color. Sometimes they get gray as they get older, but that’s it.”

“Things are a lot different around here.,” said the CyberCat. “Why don’t you try changing colors, and see how you like it?”

“I’m not sure if I can, I never tried it before.” Opie said. He started to imagine some really neat colors, and wondered how they would look on his coat.

“Now that looks great!” said the CyberCat, “You’ve got a real talent for coat colors, Opie.”
