Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat
Sagwa is the name of a siamese cat in the children's book Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat by Amy Tan. Sagwa's popularity with children prompted an Canadian educational animated series of the same name on PBS Kids. In the series, which is set circa 1900 during the Qing dynasty, Sagwa has fun in her day-to-day life while teaching Chinese language and learning valuable life lessons. The show is notable for its setting and messages about family and loyalty.
