  Good stuff!  The one thing that I would question is Ranma-neko's
preference only for Akane.  I don't think that the cat family goes in for
monogamy.  Ranma-neko would regard all four of the girls as his mates
(maybe not Kodachi).  Also, the fact that a little old lady was also able
to bring Ranma out of the neko state suggests that some of the other women
may also be able to bring Ranma out of the neko-ken.

  Actually Ranma-neko is more of his subconcious manifest in cat form.  Who
Ranma trust innately is who Ranma can feel comfortable with and the author
showed how uncomfortable Ranma felt with his mother, his distrust for Shampoo
in general, and distrust as well as a hint of betrayal of Ukyou  in the frist
part.
