Genma was still trying to get past the girl so that he could confront his old friend and get some hot water.
Nabiki checked her notes. "We have:
Ami, a pet kitten rescued from a burlap sack that had been thrown in a canal, who was Ranma's pet until the Nekoken training made him afraid of cats and incidently killed her.
Minako, an exotic songbird that Ranma rescued from freezing to death one winter, only to end up fricaseed by his father.
Usagi, a rabbit from kindergarten that Ranma was supposed to take care of during Golden Week, except his father sat on the cage and crushed her to death.
Rei, a baby raven that fell from her nest only to be raised back to health by Ranma, except that during your convalescence Ranma's father swatted you out of the air while he was teaching Ranma to steal from restaurants.

Michiru an ornamental koi at a ryokan that Ranma used to sneak off to watch and feed, except that his father decided to dice her up and eat her while she was still alive.
