Question 2: To be a Cat.


In cannon, Shampoo was cursed to be a cat.  I originally had this happing 
for different reasons in the prolouge, but due to characteriazation issues, 
as well as plot entanglements, I've been debating this.

I'll be blunt here, and give away future plot.  I had Shampoo being a cat 
because I was going to have her replace P-Chan as Akane's pet, thereby 
giving her a way to learn about Akane.  It would lead to difficulties, and 
would eventually be found out, but it would also give me a means to wean 
Ranma from his Neko-phobia.

I changed it to her being turned a cat while defending the Amazon village 
from the Jusenkyo water weilding attackers, but this means she will be a cat 
girl, instead of a cat.  I'm not as happy with this, because while it still 
gives me a potential for weaning Ranma of his fear, it eliminates the bit 
with Akane.

So here's question two.  Should I find an in character reason for Shampoo to 
become a cat before She and Zhu Shu leave China, after Shampoo goes back to 
China but before the betrothal, leave her as a cat-girl, or just give up and 
drop it all together, leaving Shampoo uncursed after turning the Tendo 
sisters into playboy bunnies?
