You're not the first to mention this, but myself, I'm wondering what
Catwoman's reaction to Shampoo is likely to be. Talk about your perfect
Hench Kitten, if she can just convince Shampoo . . .

Well, that depends on the Catwoman:

TV show (with Adam West)
	She'll fall in love with Ranma and want Shampoo to help her, all the while
trilling her R's.

Animated Series
	It won't matter.  She'll only be an ally, as she was helping to save the
enviornment.  (Honestly, what they do to some characters)

The Movie
	She'll replace Kotachi as Ranma's crazy fiancee.

The comics.
	Here is where we'll get the most interesting possiblities.  Catwoman is
described as being able to master a move she's seen once, much like Ryan in
Gold Digger, although not to his silly degree.  She trained under a sensei
in a style that incorporated elements of all others (starting to sound a
lot like Anything Goes!) and her sensei said she would encounter strange
and mystical things.  So what if there is a renegade school of Anything
Goes martial arts?  Catwoman was champion of the dojo.  Ranma could see it
as a matter of honor to defeat her.  Also, hell hound (who trained with the
same sensei) claimed to have killed their master, so there could be a bit
of revenge.
	Mean while, Selina would see Ranma as a challange, martial arts wise, but
she doesn't tend to play fair.  As for the cat fist, she'd have a great
time making a fool of Ranma by getting him to respond to her as a cat.  In
the comic, Selina isn't obsessed with cats so much as being feline.  The
cats come to her, but she is quite willing to live without them.  There is
also the fact she's worked as a team with a siberian tiger that had no
training . . .   Well, this would mean she probally would not care about
Shampoo, especially since she works alone.  (Guess which interpretation I
prefer.)

	I can see it now:

	"Listen to me boy!" Happosai said, "This is serious.  The woman you fought
used Anything Goes Martial Arts.  Now I happen to know one of my best
students was killed by a student who dressed as some totem animal.  The
poor guy, he was as good as you, Ranma, except he couldn't understand the
silky darlings anymore than you do."

Beware of organizations that proclaim their devotion to the light without
embracing, bowing to the dark; for when they idealize half the world they
must devalue the rest.
