Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat	comment	A 40-Episode Cartoon PBS Kids series set in 19th century China. As the title says, it's about a cat named Sagwa. It is based on a children's book called The Chinese Siamese Cat by Amy Tan. Sagwa and her family live in the palace of an unnamed magistrate, where her parents serve as his scribes; the calligraphy they write with their tails is much better-looking than the Magistrate's sloppy handwriting, and the kittens are learning the art as well. When they're not practicing their calligraphy (or their friend Fu-Fu the bat isn't cleaning his cave), they enjoy exploring, playing games, and hanging out in the palace's attic (which they nickname "the clubhouse").The show gained a decently-sized demographic during its original run, and teaches children quite a bit about Chinese culture, legends, and even language. The fact that it aired on PBS made it especially popular in households without cable. Sadly for the fans, it was Cut Short after one season which aired from September 2001 to October 5, 2002. However, that hasn't stopping it from continuing to have a cult following, especially among furries. Now has a recap page in the works.Produced in a collaboration between CinéGroupe and Sesame Workshop, which brought us Sesame Street.

Despite being played dead serious, it's written off as a dream in the end,, likely due to Executive Meddling, since much of it would scare the younger children watching.

Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: One could say this about any one-off character who has potential to be a recurring character. A good example would be Fam, who is introduced early on in the series in "Sagwa's Good Deed" as a part of Sagwa's circle of friends, only to disapear afterwards and being Demoted to Extra, not getting another cameo until late in the show's run. Jun fares slightly better. She's introduced late in the series and set up to be a new reoccurring character, but due to it ending after one season, she only gets two appearances.

Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat / int_23ff95fb	comment	Brutal Honesty: In the episode-long retelling of The Emperor's New Clothes, Sagwa is told to make a painting of the Magistrate's "new outfit" when she sees nothing. Despite worrying that she'll be kicked out for being deemed foolish, she chooses to draw what she sees: that is, him in his underwear. Her honesty pays off, though, since the Magistrate deduces that Sagwa can't be foolish as she's one of his smartest cats, and therefore that these clothes must be a sham. This also happened in "Stinky Tofu", where Sagwa didn't want to hurt Yeh-Yeh's feelings that his breath stinks after he eats tofu. However, after she told her honest truth towards her grandfather, he understands and states he won't tell any stories after he eats said tofu.

Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: The theme song is mostly sung in Chinese. However, when translated, the words basically have the same meaning as the only English phrase in the song. Most of the characters' names are examples of this, but due to the various dialects out there, My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels may result if you're familiar in a dialect that is not Mandarin Chinese. Most of the time, when the kittens are practicing their calligraphy, they're writing their names, something the target audience also has to practice a lot. In the show's funding credits from the original PBS airings, Thanking the Viewer is done both in English and Chinese — after the initial "Thank You", a set of Chinese characters are then displayed followed by Sagwa saying "Xie xie", which translates to "Thank you" in Chinese, in a voice over.

Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: In another Lost Episode, "The Master of Nothing", a teacher hired for the Magistrate's daughters. All three of them are upset at how they've constantly messed up at each of their courses (learning how to cook, play music, and make pots). The Master teaches them by deliberately doing each lesson wrong, such as trying to play a lute with his feet. This prompts the daughters to show him the correct way to do it, and therefore teach themselves in the process, just as the Master of Nothing planned. When, in a moment of impulsiveness, the Foolish Magistrate tells the Italian ambassador that he can take one of his cats home with him, the cats try to get the Italian to renege by behaving as terribly as possible. This includes coating themselves in pepper so that he'll think he's allergic, digging their claws in him, and making a mess. None of it works, but Tai-Tai eventually convinces him not to take any of them by pointing out a cat who can write Chinese but not Italian would be useless to him. In the episode where Dongwa pretends to be hurt longer than he is, Sagwa comes up with one to prove to Mama that he's faking. It works.

Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat / int_44989f6f	type	"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot
Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat / int_44989f6f	comment	"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: In one episode, Sagwa inherits a ceremonial collar passed down to the eldest daughter of each generation, one that is worn out and smells awful due to age. For this, she is mocked by the alley cats and later by the sleeve dogs, who steal the collar just to spite her when she tries to rid herself of it. Coming to realize its value, she takes it back and promises to always wear it, at which point Mama reveals that as an heirloom it's only meant to be worn when the occasion calls for it. As it turns out, if Sagwa had sat still for just a few moments more when Mama tried to explain to her earlier, she could've spared herself a lot of grief. In another episode, Sagwa bails on Dongwa to avoid his bossiness, and doesn't notice when she loses her collar. Naturally, she is mistaken for a stray by a young girl living on a house boat, and is taken in and very nearly taken away from her village. Lucky for Sagwa that a fellow kitten from the pier tipped off the others to what happened to Sagwa or else the young girl's family would never have realized this mistake. In another instance, Sheegwa runs off against Sagwa and Dongwa's advice and runs right into the Magistrate and Tai-Tai while they're hosting some guests, which winds up leading to the highly unlikely scenario of her being mistaken for a princess due to a supposed birthmark. Another episode has Sheegwa getting into an argument with Sagwa over the latter's bossiness when she tries to lecture Sheegwa on the right way to spin her toy top, and threatens to run away. The next day, Sheegwa goes missing during a huge snowstorm and Sagwa, remembering how mad she made Sheegwa, fears the worst and goes out into the storm to find her. As it turns out, Sheegwa was safe in the house taking a nap in her bed, which everyone failed to check right off the bat. Sagwa is also visibly and justifiably miffed that Sheegwa's words forced her to go out into a storm for nothing, but she chooses to brush it off.

Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat / int_6509bb9f	comment	Nonindicative Name: Sagwa is not actually a Siamese cat, as the story explains. She was originally a white kitten but fell into an inkpot, and since that kind of ink isn't easy to remove, she ended up with the markings of a Siamese cat. note This is surprisingly accurate - the drawings depict the cats with very fluffy tails, meaning that their breed is far more likely to be a Himalayan. The Himalayan, also known as a "Pointed Persian", is a Persian cat with Siamese coloring, and so it is certainly possible for two Himalayan cats to produce a fluffy white kitten. Yeh-Yeh's ears also hint that his breed is actually Scottish Fold.

The female characters in the series, particularly the Magistrate's wife, Tai-Tai, have much more freedom and influence than they would have had in real 19th century China. Tai-Tai would NEVER think of talking to her husband like that, no matter how immature he was. Chinese women were forbidden to speak until spoken to. The Magistrate doesn't seem bothered by the fact that he has three daughters, when in real life, he would have probably kept trying for a son since daughters could not inherit. Tai-Tai and her three daughters have normal, functioning feet, and walk and run about frequently. Upper-class Chinese women and lower-class girls arranged to marry into a higher-class family were subjected to foot binding.

Tai-Yi-Po punishes that Gongji shall have no supper tonight. Now Sagwa didn't have to tell anyone she had a part in destroying the pillow, and could've let Gongji take the blame, given he treated her rudely during their entire visit. But feeling sympathy for him, Sagwa willingly gives herself away when she reveals the tell-tale thread tangled on her foot.

A good example would be Fam, who is introduced early on in the series in "Sagwa's Good Deed" as a part of Sagwa's circle of friends, only to disapear afterwards and being Demoted to Extra, not getting another cameo until late in the show's run.

Most of the alley cats don't have a name. The ones who do are known to the Miao kittens: Fam, Lik-Lik (who's real name is revealed in "The Name Game" to be Jai-Li, meaning "family strength"), Wing Wing, Jet-Jet, and Hun-Hun. Also Nai-Nai and Yeh-Yeh are this. Mama and Baba Miao's names are revealed in "The Name Game", however.

Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat / int_cdad4b25	comment	Toxic Friend Influence: The Alley Cats are somewhat giving to delinquent behavior, but their presence provides the meow kittens with other kittens to play with. The flip side to it is that while the Miaos have their parents and the people living in the palace to keep them in line most of the time, they're especially likely to get into trouble or danger in the course of hanging out with said Alley Cats. This is especially true of Dongwa, who has to go outside the palace to find more mature playmates and the company of other male kittens, while his sisters are usually pretty content to find company in each other.

Though we assume they made it out okay. "Fur Cut" has both an actual and in-universe examples: In-universe is about the story how Sagwa got the patches on her fur and abruptly ends with her and the dragon planning to stop the forest fire. She ended after she told the truth. The actual episode ends with just Sagwa retelling what exactly happened earlier. "Ba-Do and the Lantern Festival" ends with Ba-Do and Sagwa separated from their family but enjoying the last of the lantern festival... and then the episode just abruptly stops without any explanation as to how Ba-Do got back home. As a result, we're left to assume the Magistrate and Tai-Tai realized one of their daughters and pets were both missing and were able to find them.
