Dear Diane,
Finn and Poe are growing up gorgeously and we love them more every minute (how is this possible?!) They have bonded with our dog Fizzgig, and Poe even chooses to sleep in Fizzgig’s crate from when he was a puppy. They had them neutered two days ago and are doing great. Hope you’re having a lovely start to the autumn season and thank you again for our beautiful Finn & Poe are the best.
We moved house and they are loving the new space and the big windows to spy on birds and deer!
They are simply perfect. They are happy-go-lucky and love everyone they meet. And they adore each other, the best little brothers—perfect playmates. I’m so glad that we have them both, because I can’t imagine them separated, they do everything together! Poe is a snuggler, but also is the busier of the two, always finding something fun to play with. He also tends to let Finn investigate new things and then decides he’ll join in once it’s safe! And Finn is so funny—also a cuddler but with a mischievous streak. Endless fun. And the best is that I am their person—they follow me from room to room. They sit on my lap or on a desk-attached bed I got them when I am working, sleep by my side (on in Finn’s case, on my neck!) )
Love

Dear Diane and Amanda,
Time for an update on Tina in Merced. She is thriving in our family. She seamlessly travels between Shell Beach and Merced. She prefers the energy of life with the young grands who are crazy about her. She is learning to sleep with us under the covers. She is very attached to us and others. We make certain to have friends come by to love her up if we are gone more than 24 hours. Just want you to know that she loved and appreciated as a Siamese. Thanks for her.

B.G. is my shadow!!!! She is so obsessed with me! I love her so much. She’s the sweetest kitty I have ever met. Everyone is in love with her. She loves my husband and my kids too!! She’s an Angel. My dog and B.G. are best friends as well. It’s really something. People always laugh about them.
These two are together allll day! They are best friends! The dog is so gentle with her. We got Daisy when she was about 3 months so she grew up with BG and are so sweet together.

Gwen is the most amazing and cute little thing ever. She loves to play most of the day. Whenever I get home she usually meows so I can play with her when I open the door. She usually likes when I use this mouse toy and have her run around chasing it. She loves to climb and explore too. She loves attention, so if im working on something on my computer she tends to hop on my desk and lay on my keyboard. When she sleeps while im up she likes to either sleep with the sun on her, or in her little house bed. When it's night time and im going to bed, she tends to paw me and nibble at me to play more, but after a bit she just snuggles up either next to me or on top of me. I honestly just love how loving she is. Whenever im near her she just purrs and wants me to either pet her or play with her. She is the cutest little thing, and brings so much joy. She is also a bit of a rascal though and tends to not stop playing for a good part of the day, but it is really enjoyable and im always happy to do things with her. Non-stop energy, but she is so amazing and precious .
Wanted to give you some updates on Chibi
She is thriving and is growing up so quickly
We love her so much she’s so darn funny lol
She’s great with the kids too.
She curls her tail into a circle when she sleeps and it’s the cutest thing ever

Dear Diane,
Claire is doing very well, and we have a close bond. She and our two-year-old Bichons Frises, Skipper and Sam, and Sam in particular, like to gently play in the morning. Coco also had a good relationship with our previous Bichons.
Claire is an intelligent, beautiful, agile, and active cat. I couldn't have asked for more. She weighs about 7-1/2 pounds. She has dark blue eyes and her fur is high contrast, which I really like. I think you told me you were offering me the "best of your best."I am on your waiting list for a second Balinese kitten, seal-point or blue-point. If possible, would you offer me another one of your best of the best? I will be patient in my wait to bring Olivia home.
Kind Regards,
Christopher

Thanks for sending our little California girl here to us in Arlington, Massachusetts 😊😊😊

Diane,
Our siamese kitten is doing amazing!! He always wants to be with us, such the perfect pet! He is such a love and he lights up our home. Thank you so much for sharing him with us.
Your essentials document was so helpful and covered everything we needed.
Today we had him [neutered], given he was six months old. I attached the Vet's Certificate of Sterilization along with some pictures of him. He sure is beautiful!
Thank you,

Hi Diane. Hope this finds you well. Just wanted to share a picture of Augustus. Gus is absolutely fabulous. He has a beautiful disposition. He is incredibly affectionate, just a perfect lap cat…. Yet an abundance of energy that keeps us all wildly entertained. We just adore and love him so much.

Dear Diane: Thank you ever so much for our cat Cecil.
We named him Cecil because at the time we got him from you a lion in Zimbawa was killed by a hunter. He had a collar on and villagers knew him. The story touched our heart. We named our new kitty Cecil after the lion.
Cecil is my soulmate. He sleeps in my arms. We go everywhere with Cecil: from Appalachian Trail to sands of the beach, to mountain meadows.
One day Cecil touched my nose over and over with his paw everytime I held him he would inspect my face and touch my nose. I looked at a closeup mirror to see what was so interesting about my nose . I saw a tiny, tiny red dot. I immediately went to dermatologist. She said squamous cell cancer but did scoop biopsy. My mom had melanoma of nose. I was devastated. Sent to mount pleasant, South Carolina to Dr Cook for Mohs procedure. After his excellent surgery the skin graft covered it and because early detection very small scar two years ago.
But that’s not the end of the story.
Recently Cecil would touch my lip and kiss my face. He would hold my face and touch my lip. I saw nothing but went to dermatologist. He said nothing really but looked with scope. Squamous cell just beginning.
Cecil has saved my life twice.
I will always be grateful to you for our Cecil. He is my heart….

Hello from Sephina and family.
Her first evening she ate very well drank water and got acquainted with her potty….many accomplishments in a new environment for one day for such a little girl….
It has been one week and Sephina is WONDERFUL …she acclimated so well and so fast…now running all over the house…literally ruling the roost…
Last night we let Miss Sephina the three pound bundle of energy in the same room face to face with the our ten year old 15 lb male Tabby Mugsy….AMAZINGLY even tho she would growl a little and hiss if Mugs got too close observing her …….such a little fearless spitfire …Mugsy showed NO aggression or even voiced a growl…he was only curious of her wild antics and meowed to her softly like he used to do to Aziza as he sat quietly and watched her escapade’s. LITERALLY could not believe how accepting he is….much different than I anticipated…He doesn’t like dogs for sure… but recognizes she is a cat and may even think she is Aziza that just shrunk the way he is acting. During the day Sephina has been sleeping in Aziza’s beds and playing with her toys and climbing trees since she got here so may even smell like her now!!! maybe that is why the confused look on Mugsy’s face!!so all is well and we love her to pieces..such a joy
I just feel so grateful that she has come into our life after our beloved Aziza passed away….thank you very much for Aziza as well! Sephina will be very spoiled and is greatly loved. Sephina has definitely bonded to me and am looking forward to many happy years as my wonderful companion as each of my four Siamese have been during my life since I was a kid..Everyone who has seen pictures of her comments on how stunning she is…your kitties are not only beautiful but have the best personalities so thank you so much for her

We are very happy with them both.
Thank you so much for these two wonderful kitties 😻😻

Our new kitten
April 10, 2024
She loves to play, but also loves to cuddle or just sit by one of us. Also loves to shoulder sit. Her favorites are a toy mouse and a toy hedgehog. Also likes to chase a toy on the end of a stick especially if we hide it under a blanket and move it around
She's become good at communicating what she wants.
We haven’t had any allergy issues at all.
She's a wonderful cat and feels like a member of the family now.

Hi Diane, it’s hard to believe Gypsy and Sarah will be Six on Monday. They continue to be full of energy, intelligence, and love. I enjoy their different personalities and how they interact and how we keep everything running on schedule here as a family. I am fortunate to work at home and am able to spend lots of time with them.

Happy 1st Birthday, Sunti!
March 3, 2024
Happy birthday to my true fur friend companion, Sunti, who turns 1 today. Thank you for breeding beautiful Siamese who warm our hearts. 💖😻We’re doing our happy singing and dancing, playing and lots of cuddle time. This was the jersey I got him for his birthday 🎂
He walks around my legs rubbing up against them and purrs in my ears. He sleeps with me every night under the covers. He enjoys going on outings in his back pack and loves nature and the river. He puts a smile on every one’s face that has set eyes on his beautiful soul.
I love him so much,

James loves a feather and string on a pole! We know because he brings his favorite toys to us... from other floors! He likes the toy even more so when he's trampling over pillows. He's quite athletic, nearly ninja-like and gives his best friend Buster, a real run for his money. He always wants to be near you, including when I take a shower. And like when he was a kitten he does enjoy going under the covers every now and again. He's has a whole series of vocalizations -- like a siamese -- but he's not a crier. He currently tips the scales at 11 1/2 pounds,

Sasha is NINE! (Our annual photo) I almost missed the occasion but after all these years I wasn’t about to break the tradition and made a late night run to the grocery store for a cake and candle. 😺

We have two incredible Siamese brothers that we purchased from Diane Dunaway in July 2022 when they were 12 weeks old. To say that they are beautiful, incredibly smart, playful, mischievous and share their love with us every minute of every day is an understatement. They bring such joy, comedy and amazement to our lives. I think you’ll understand from these photos and videos just what I mean.
1st few days at home:
We soon found out they could sleep anywhere...
They play together all over the house and love anyone who comes to visit ….even little kids
Here's Scout now!
SASHA TURNED 20!!!

Dear Diane,
I wanted you to know that the wonderful kitten we adopted from you in 1996, turned 20 yesterday :)
Sasha has been a wonderful pet of ours for many, many years and she is still going strong. We thought you would enjoy hearing from us and knowing one of your little kittens is now 20! There is a picture attached of Sasha in her prime, and at yesterday's birthday party.
When we visited you in San Diego, you had other "great-grandma" cats in the house and I rememer you commenting on the longevity of your line. Well, it is true for us! When we visited you, we were engaged to be married, now we will celebrate 19 years of marriage this year and have 17year and 9year old boys. Sasha has them both beat!
She has pretty strong arthritis in the hind end that prevents her from getting around a lot, but she still loves to cudddle and will purr, purr, purr, with attention. Of course we spoil her rotten and on her birthday, she got a "tuna cake". She has other kitty brothers and sisters that enjoyed the cake too, after we sang Happy Birthday!
Thank you again for such a wonderful kitty!
All the best, Bill and Jan M. (Alex and Niko)

hey, Diane! We SOOOOO love our darling Princess Tiger Kitty (after Peter Pan's Tiger Lily!)
She is a crackup. She is pictured with her one and only favorite toy, and spends great amounts of time chasing it. As a result my arm is about to fall off. Kitty has taken over the entire house and put the two English Bulldogs at their ease. She is a benevolent dictator. Thanks so much for my sweetheart!!! I'll send you some more cute photos.
Again, thanks so much for our precious Grrrrrrl!

Hello Diane,
And Happy Valentines Day to you as well! Miss Mei is great and such a lovely girl! She sleeps in my bed but I have an electric foot warmer so she sleeps where it is! In the morning she comes to wake me up with her chatter. She's a delight and the vet says she is very healthy too!

Finally I am sending you some photos of the babies. They are growing so much that very soon these will be outdated. I promise to keep you posted with more photos as they get older. We love them to pieces!! We tell them that they're the best kitties in the whole world. I've named them Keefy and Georgey.
Thank you for having such wonderful and sweet kittens!!

NAP TIME: BALI & KARMA

The boys are fantastic. You were right. One is a little lover and the other is a clown. We named the little lover, Bali and his brother, Karma. They are everything we hoped for and more. As expected it took a couple of days for them to get comfortable and they are no happily purring, playing and getting into mischief.
All of your recommendations were terrific. We got a great scratching post which they love to use and climb; safe litter and Innova kitten food. They love bedtime and Bali is a squeaky purrer while Karma has deep rumble.
You know we got them as a replacement for our beloved Zak, a 19-year old Siamese who passed away January 10. These boys have brought us much needed joy.
I want to thank for your incredible professionalism, kindness and care in helping us get them. I spoke with over 6 catteries and you were head and shoulders above the rest. Lauren and I may be in San Diego in mid-March. If possible, we would like to stop by and meet the parents. Let me know.

ORION - AGE 2 and 21

2/20/2015
Orion is now 21 years old. He is still getting around. I took the opportunity of a natural light situation in late November 2014 to get this shot. Also is one taken at age two. He has been a wonderful pet very intuitive and communicative. He always has a code of ethics. He has a sense of right and wrong. Not running down the stairs to the door, not jumping on the kitchen counter, Cats do mourn. His brother Lapis died 1 1/2 years ago and it took Orion 6 months to get his sparkle back. I am amazed by his stamina. He wraps his paw on my hand to me to bring me in for a cuddle time Orion is still the gentle giant. He still crosses his front legs when he sits. like so many of the cats you have on your page. (see more of ORION and LAPIS)

Hello Diane,
Even though shes still a kitten, my buddy sleeps with me, works with me, waits outside of the shower door staring at me, and sleeps in the family room during the daily chaos (doesn't seem to bother her at all).
Shes exactly what we wanted, a family member who is part of everything. Susan L.
20 YEARS WITH OUR SIAMESE
2/21/2021
02/21/2021
Hi Diane, If you can believe this, the last time we were in touch was 1999! I adopted two of your appleheads, a brother and sister, and we shared our lives for 20 years. They gave me and each other so much love, so thank you. Sadly, they have both now passed, within months of each other. Though they are irreplaceable, I am wondering if the time is coming to add some feline energy to the household again. If you are still raising these guys, could you keep me in mind as new litters come along?
Many thanks

Hi Diane
just wanted to give you a quick update. Little Gengi Neko Magic Mischief the Smart is all that - we love him so much already. I love the way he modulates his voice when he talks - and looks you straight in the eye. And how he talks while eating - numm numm numm - he keeps us in stitches. He is so curious and so sweet - loves cuddling! I am going to send you a video when I get one of him climbing all over our other cat.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR RAISING THIS PERFECT LITTLE BEING!
