Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat is an educational Chinese-Canadian-American animated television series based on a 1994 novel by Amy Tan which aired on PBS Kids, produced by Montreal based Canadian animation studio CinéGroupe and Sesame Street creator Sesame Workshop. Because both PBS and Sesame Workshop co-owned Sprout when the channel was launched, they aired a variety of shows from their archive libraries on Sprout, including reruns of Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat.
