have either of you actually *read* the ghost cat story? The only thing
Ranma did to "save" Shampoo is to beat up Genma when the cat possessed
him. Looks to me like a convenient excuse to pound dear old Dad. Nor did
it seem to me that Shamps was in any real danger; the cat seemed pretty
incompetent.
As a couple of people have pointed out so far, there's another ghost cat
story besides the one I was thinking of when I wrote this. So please
ignore what I said here. I stand corrected, and thanks to those who
pointed out my mistake.
