History TearJerker / SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat

* One episode had the Alley Cats visit the mouse village which a mouse who is a close friend to Sagwa told her to keep secret. There's something about the [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Alleycat leader's reaction]] to scaring off the mice while unintentionally destroying their village in the process and trying to apologize to them and even acting friendly with them, but all of them are gone. The next day, Sagwa visits the now ruined village with Sagwa's mouse friend [[WhatTheHellHero scolding her for breaking there promise.]] One young mouse asks him where they are going to live and eat.

* While minor, the episode "The Tortoise And The Cat" where Sagwa befriends Oogway the tortoise. There's a scene where Sagwa has a thorn stuck in her paw (after falling into a rose bush) and meows in pain in a sad and hurt tone. Oogway tells her to calm down and takes out the thorn with his mouth. Sagwa tries walking but hurts with every step then says "Oh poor me". To make matters worse, this is the first time that Sagwa is really hurt in the series (it takes place during the twelfth episode) since, being a SliceOfLife, the characters rarely get seriously hurt.

* The show has a surprising number of instances where the characters experience very real AdultFear, such as when Sagwa worries Sheegwa went out into a snowstorm because of something she said, or when Mama Miao regrets letting Sagwa go to the caves after a rockslide traps her.

'''Baba:''' And you! Helping your brother to deceive me! That's not like you! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELVES?! (''Sagwa and Dongwa are shocked into silence'') Well, until you can come up with an explanation for this, ''''''YOU ARE BOTH CONFINED TO YOUR QUARTERS!''''' (''storms off'')\\

'''Baba:''' And that is final!

* "How Sagwa Got Her Colors": After being scared all day that an honest mistake she made that led to a rule being changed would get her and her family kicked out of the palace, Sagwa is found by the Magistrate due to a sneeze, and it seems the worst is going to happen. The devastated looks on her parents faces certainly don't help. [[BaitAndSwitch However]], Sagwa is praised by the magistrate, since [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe she gave him a change of heart]].
** Later, Mama Miao (in the present) tells Sheegwa that Sagwa "[[CantGetAwayWithNothing did something she shouldn't have]]". This means that Sagwa's parents weren't too happy about what she'd done....even though, she found everyone's favourite, happy ending in the past resolution...
* In "Precious Gift", The Alley Cats take something away from Sheegwa. Sagwa later hears Sheegwa crying over the Alley Cats stealing it. (The thing in question belonged to Tai-Tai, as it was [[TragicKeepsake a gift from her deceased father]]). But soon, when the necklace broke to pieces, the Alley Cats start to feel remorse for what they had done, while Sheegwa panics over the broken necklace.
** It's especially sad when Tai-Tai explains to the Magistrate that her late fathers' other souvenirs were lost over the years. That jade necklace is ''the last'' of [[TragicKeepsake her father's precious souvenirs]].
* In "Ciao, Meow!", Mama Miao ''cries'' for the first time when the Magistrate promises a descendant of Marco Polo one of the kittens. Baba Miao tries to comfort her, saying they'll leave the palace and live in the alley if it's the only way they'll be able to stay together.

* The show has a surprising amount of instances in which the characters have some very real AdultFear, such as when Sagwa worries Sheegwa went out into a snowstorm because of something she said, or when Mama Miao regrets letting Sagwa go to the caves after a rockslide traps her.

* In "Sagwa Rules", the sister episode of the aforementioned "Ciao, Meow!" the kittens have an imagine spot of what life would be like without rules. It starts out nice, [[ExplainExplainOhCrap but then we get this]]:

* In the episode where Dongwa befriends Haiyo, there's a scene where The Alley Cats start making fun of the bird and Dongwa decides to join on. [[RightBehindMe Dongwa unaware that Haiyo is standing right next to him]] hears his insult and walks away with a very heartbroke expression. Dongwa then notices him walking off and tells him he wasn't referring to him. When Dongwa starts searching for him, he asks his little sister Sheegwa if she's seen him... She tells Dongwa that she did, but he looked really sad and even [[WhatTheHellHero scolds]] Dongwa....
** This causes Dongwa feel more guilty for what he said and decides to apologize to him.

There's something about the [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Alleycat leader's reaction]] to scaring off the mice while unintentionally destroying their village in the process and trying to apologize to them and even acting friendly with them, but all of them are gone.

* In "Precious Gift", The Alley Cats take something away from Sheegwa. Sagwa later hears Sheegwa crying over the Alley Cats stealing it. (The thing in question belonged to Tai-Tai,it was her deceased father's neckless). But soon, when the necklace broke to pieces, the Alley Cats start to feel remorse for what they had done, while Sheegwa panics over the broken necklace.
* In "Ciao, Meow!", Mama Miao ''cries'' for the first time when the Magistrate promises a descendant of Marco Polo one of the kittens. Baba Miao tries to comfort her, saying they'll leave the palace and live in the alley if it's the only way they'll be able to stay together.
* In "Tung the Singing Cricket", the scene where the Foolish Magistrate thinks his singing cricket died can come across as this to anyone who ever lost a pet. It's also worth mentioning that it's Tai-Tai at her lowest moment in the series, since she convinced the Magistrate that his cricket died.

** There are also times when the characters show fears or concerns that kids watching the show can really relate to. Such as Sagwa worrying that Baba loves Dongwa more than her, or Sheegwa worrying Mama and Baba don't love each other after seeing them argue.
* In "Sagwa Rules", the sister episode of the aforementioned "Ciao, Meow!" the kittens have an imagine spot of what life would be like without rules. It starts out nice, but then we get this:
-->'''Dongwa:''' Without rules, the palace wouldn't need a reader of the rules.\\

* In the episode where Dongwa befriends Haiyo, there's a scene where The Alley Cats start making fun of the bird and Dongwa decides to join on. [[RightBehindMe Dongwa unaware that Haiyo is standing right next to him]] hears his insult and walks away with a very heartbroke expression. Dongwa then notices him walking off and tells him he wasn't referring to him. When Dongwa starts searching for him, he asks his little sister Sheegwa if she's seen him... She tells Dongwa that she did, but he looked really sad and even scolds Dongwa....

* The way Gunji treats Sagwa in "Snagged By a Thread". Not to mention the moment where Sagwa considers letting her take all the blame for the pillow they ripped, but then imagines the punishments Gunji might endure, and takes responsibility for her part.

* In "Sagwa's Good Deed", the SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} that is the good deed in question soon turns to this when Sagwa returns to the palace and Mama Miao is angry with her for missing dinner, making her eat plain rice instead of the special fish dinner the rest of the family had, as Sagwa had given away her portion to Fam and his family. Later she laments to Fu-Fu that she feels she can't do anything right, as Dongwa arrives with Sheegwa and tells Sagwa how angry Mama and Baba Miao are.

* In "Cha-Siu Bow Wow" the kittens meet their newly adopted cousin Cha-Siu, [[InterspeciesAdoption who turns out to be a puppy who behaves like a cat]]. Sagwa and Sheegwa immediately warm up to him, but Cha-Siu fails to gain Dongwa's acceptance as he doesn't know how to relate to a dog. When the Sleeve Dogs see Cha-Siu's behavior, they proceed to harass him for his relation to the palace cats and call him worthless when he can't do the same things dogs do. Dongwa only watches in shameful bewilderment and Cha-Siu wonders if he's worthy of being a cat or a dog. Although Dongwa is finally able to accept Cha-Siu for what he is, [[KarmaHoudini we never do see the Sleeve Dogs get their comeuppance for their hurtful remarks]].

* Sagwa spreading a false rumor that Hun-Hun had stolen food from ''baby kittens'' all just to get back at Dongwa for spending more time with her and not with Sagwa. The alleycats soon spread the story all around town and Dongwa is devastated when he gets wind of it. Just when he confronts Hun-Hun, who we've seen is probably the nicest of all the alleycats, Sagwa stops him from ending their friendship and shamefully admits that she made the whole thing up, to which Hun-Hun chews her out for lying to everyone. She also does the same to Dongwa, who admits he was wrong not to make sure it was even true in the first place. The two siblings quickly make up, and go about to make sure the rumor is spread no further.
