Story

The animated series “Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat” is set in China during the late Qing dynasty, around 1895-1912. It revolves around the life of Sagwa, a royal family cat with the ability to write with her tail, and her day-to-day adventures and learning experiences. The show is known for its intentional cross-cultural approach, featuring messages about family obligations, loyalty, and valuable life lessons. The series is based on the children’s book of the same name by Amy Tan and is set in the modern-day Fujian province. The plot focuses on Sagwa’s experiences, her family, and other characters such as Fu-Fu the bat, with each episode typically accompanied by moral lessons, as is common in children’s shows.
