* EsotericHappyEnding: "Tea for Two" ends with Dongwa and the sleeve dogs having made a monkey trainer and his monkeys hated by the entire province. But the sight of a tree supposedly means they'll be wanted at the palace again.

Appears to be part of the NF example.


* Near the end of the episode "Sick Day", the story scene where Sagwa gets captured and has a scared reaction because of Sheegwa telling her that she didn't play with her. Throughout the episode, Sagwa is heard screaming in fear. There's something creepy about hearing your favorite character scream with fear, especially since they rarely show fear at all.

* IdiotPlot: Sheegwa is mistaken for a legendary princess due to a star-shaped birthmark on her coat, and is immediately showered with lavish praise and treated like a dignitary before it's discovered it was actually simply a patch of dirt on her fur. Nobody took the time to verify that it is real, or that the legend itself had any credence to it. Furthermore, Mama and Baba forbid her to play as she'll be expected to fulfill her new role as a figure of wisdom, even though she's just a kitten and would have been taken from home if the misunderstanding had not been uncovered.
** "The Magistrate's New Clothes", though a somewhat justified case as it is taken directly from the original fable where everybody in the palace fails to understand that the invisible clothes are an obvious ruse.
** Sagwa and Fu-Fu get themselves into a world of trouble when they play around with a valuable medallion gifted from the Emperor himself. Nobody who comes into possession of the medallion thinks twice about using it to suit their own needs, instead of reporting to the palace of their chance find.
** Baba entrusts Sagwa to send a song he wrote for Mama's birthday to a far more accomplished singing cat, but neglects to tell her where she must go to find him. Even though he is clearly in earshot of Sagwa, he does not hear her ''shouting'' for directions, and so she must rely on Fu-Fu instead to get there.
** Tai-Tai impulsively banishes the swiftlets, the honey bees, and the silkworms over minor inconveniences around the palace without even considering the consequences of any of it, until after the damage is done. That said, how exactly ''did'' she successfully banish such creatures from the palace?

** The cats from "Cats of a Different Class" have an owner who sees them as decorations instead of pets. He makes them wear painfully tight booties all the time because he thinks they look good and feeds them nothing but rice because he doesn't want their breath to smell bad.

** He crosses into JerkassWoobie territory too. In one episode, he punishes Dongwa by writing tons and tons of scrolls. Dongwa decides to ask Sagwa for help, which she accepts by tells him that she will not be doing that again only for the two to get scolded by their father (who goes as far as accusing Sagwa of helping Dongwa deceive him). Later in the episode, he starts having a nightmare/flashback showing a young Baba Miao with his grandfather scolding him about the same mistake that his son would later do. After the dream ends, he apologizes to Dongwa and tells him that he was a little too hard on him.

* AdaptationDisplacement: That's right, there was a book. There was a book called ''Sagwa The Chinese Siamese Cat''. It was actually written by none other than Creator/AmyTan. Unlike the animated series, Sagwa alongside the other characters are designed more realistic and the protagonist had a different collar.
* {{Adorkable}}: Certainly Fu-Fu and the Reader of the Rules, but Dongwa and the Foolish Magistrate also have cute dorky moments. Sagwa also has moments like this when she's very playful such as the episode "The Tortoise And The Cat" where she's playing tag and hide and seek.
