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

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

Queenie and she are getting along better every day.
We are very happy with them both.

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!

Hi Diane, We adopted our baby girl Baboo from you back in 2004 after our beloved George passed the day after Christmas in 2003. She made a long but safe trip from Cali to Maryland in February 2004 and demands 120% of our attention which we gladly give her. She is the love of our life and still acts like a kitten. She is so smart...I tell my husband if electricity wasn't already invented Baboo would be working on it!
Your cats are so smart, beautiful, and sweet!
Attached is a pic of her discovering a new box...how smart is that!?!?!?

ALEX: MORE FROM ALEX'S FAMILY ?

---------- more from Alex's family
Hi Diane,
Please feel free to use this letter as a reference for you.
To us, you are the BEST. Because of your love of cats, the way you raise these beautiful souls, you have given our family the greatest gift of all: love. We are immensely grateful for the time and effort you so clearly put into this labor of love. We're so glad we found you so many years ago!
The decision to get a kitten is significant, and not one taken lightly. It never has been. To us, they are not just "cats", but cherished members of our family. To that end, when we began our search for a Siamese breeder eight years ago, we found Diane. The search was nationwide, as geographical constraints were not an issue. We interviewed many people, spoke to local veterinarians and checked references from Florida all the way to California, and many states in between. We checked a multitude of breeders as this was so important to us. When all was said and done, it became clear who was the best, most ethical breeder: Diane Dunaway Kramer. Even a veterinarian in our home state of Nebraska had heard of Diane, had known of her reputation as the best.
In 2005, Alex, our first kitten from Diane, came into our family. From day one, Alex has been healthy, playful, loving and has the absolute best personality. We couldn't have asked for a better, more beautiful, kitten. In 2013, our female cat passed away and we wanted a companion for Alex. We once again called on Diane. Quite frankly, there was no one else we would trust. So we welcomed Ethan, who marched into our lives and has taken over our hearts completely. As with Alex, Ethan was healthy and perfect when he arrived, full of curiosity, very intelligent and so affectionate! It was obvious these kittens were hand-raised and loving members of Diane's family before becoming part of our family. What 's more, Diane has always been available for questions regarding nutrition, etc. Her presence in our lives did not end when these kittens arrived home to us. How great is that!
Our family is complete now with our two gorgeous, playful, healthy boys.
And we know that someday, if we decide to expand our feline family, we will look only to Diane.
With gratitude and love,
The Kirchmann family

Diane Nineteen years ago, I purchased a lovely Siamese kitten from you. Sadly, Jasmine recently passed away from a failing heart. With her loss, there is big hole in our family that I would like to fill with a new kitten. I have always been very close to my creatures, and now that I am retired, I have more time to enjoy their company. So I am asking you to find me a very specific kitten for another long and loving relationship.
Jazz was an amazing cat - the smartest cat I have ever met. I loved her very much.
The last kitten I purchased from you, Kiko, is exactly what I am looking for in our new family member.
What I love most about Kiko is that she is:
Calm
Sweet
Tempered
Affectionate
Intelligent
Playful
I would like the new kitten to be all these things. In addition, in the range from pet quality to show quality, I am looking for a cat that is closer to show than pet. I realize that would involve an increased expense. When a kitten that meets all these requirements is available, I would appreciate the opportunity to spoil her for the rest of her life..

She makes a great neck warmer !!

Thank you so much for her! I can't imagine not having her. She brings me so much joy!

1/25/2015
Dear Diane
We named our kitten Sebastian Atreyu and we call him Bastian. I got the name from the never ending story. He is wonderful. He is loving and loves to be in the middle of everything. He has learned the purpose of the doll stroller. I think I told you that the last kitten we got from you, Humphrey Bogart, loves to get in a stroller and be pushed. Well Bastian figured out that if he crawls in it he will be pushed as well but he is not quite sure he wants to be pushed so he will bat at whoever is pushing just in case he may object to it. It is so funny to watch him reason it out. He loves water and is always in the sink when I am near by. He does not talk as much as Humphrey does... So when he does decide to vocalize his wishes it is funny. He is of course a mama's boy and both he and humphrey sleep on me. They both try to be closest to my face. In fact Bastian decided one night he was going to win and laid across my neck. He of course won that round. As you can tell he is doing very well and he fits in very well. I do have a question... At what age do they stop growing or mature. I see him every day so I don't always see how big he is, but people who come over tell me that he is huge. To me he is my baby which he proudly wears but I figured I would ask. I am including horrible doll stroller pics because I had to send them. I also sent one of Humphrey with my son from several years ago. It is something I keep always because only a Siamese would think of it. They are the best.... Hope all is well for you and your family and that you had a wonderful holiday season.

Dear Diane
Sherlock and Churchill are the second set of twins we were fortunate enough to adopt from Diane. This photo was taken the first night they were with us. They flew from San Diego to Atlanta without a hitch and came out of their carrier ready to play and engage with my husband and I. We were afraid they might be a little stand offish considering all they had experienced that day, but that was not the case at all. They have the absolute sweetest dispositions. are smart and beautiful. We couldn't be more pleased and can't thank Diane enough for breeding such special cats.

Dear Diane
I want to let you know how grateful I am for the two wonderful cats we purchased from you, Sasha and Liat. Sadly, we lost both of our babies in 2015.
Sasha, six months older than Liat, was incredibly intelligent and composed. Liat was our dear clown, and a hedonist who loved rubbing up against us and sprawling on her back for tummy rubs. Both were well-behaved charmers. They even tolerated our brushing their teeth. One of their more enduring traits was their habit of racing to the door to greet us whenever we came home. Sasha would then plop down inviting us to stroke her back, while Liat would dash to a scratching post for a workout, then stretch out on the floor belly-up for her own share of attention.
We miss our two babies every day. But we are looking forward to a new stage of our lives, getting to know two new kittens. We absolutely trust you to provide us with little girls that we will come to love as much as Sasha and Liat.

Thank you for a super toy idea. I always appreciate your thoughtful suggestions and expert input. Sasha will FLIP (literally) over these springs.
At the 2 1/2 year point, she has reached a delightful new stage of maturity in her personality. Her wise old soul is becoming increasingly obvious as those "teen age years" move over to the side. Our bond is extremely close. Lots of mutual trust, respect and love. I tend to think of her more as a person than a cat.
