Sagwa: The Chinese Siamese Cat is a short story by Amy Tan about a kitten named Sagwa that tends to get into trouble. It even provides a cute explanation as to why siamese cats have the coloring they do.

This is also the name of a cartoon on PBS about Sagwa and her adventures with various friends and family. Aimed at the under-10 crowd, it teaches kids life lessons and is loosely based on the original story mentioned above.


I caught this on PBS while channel surfing today. It was quite enjoyable. The animation is low-budget, but the characters are so incredibly adorable, it was hard to turn away. Kawaii owns me!
