They are not Siamese, as they had thought, but Chinese cats with a distinguished ancestry. An ancestor named Sagwa, a thousand cat lives ago, played an important role in the government. Ming Miao tells her kittens how one day Sagwa splashed around in an ink bottle in the Magistrate's study, which not only altered his appearance, but also changed the Magistrate's newest rule prohibiting singing until the sun had set. Now people were ordered to sing all day long! The people hailed the Magistrate as wise and Sagwa as the greatest of cats. This charming fable about government and how rules are made will delight children and enchant adults.
