Most asked about questions on Shampoo's curse

How does she treat her curse?
She doesn't like being a weak cat, but she does use it against Ranma. She's never been seen to be particularly upset about it, except just after she was first cursed.

If Shampoo is a woman, and she was changed into a cat when she was training at Jusenkyo... Then why didn't she just change back, seeing as Nyanniichuan(spring of drowned woman, where Ranma fell in) was right there?
Personally I think this fact was forgotten to save the plot... If we don't think about this, then Shampoo is allowed back in the story, and some more plot twists are able to form. Of course I have also heard that this may have been her punishment for failing to beat Ranma.
