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

She is doing really great. She settled very well.
Queenie and she are getting along better every day.
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!

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!
TROY UPDATE

Hi Diane,
Just wanted to give you an update on Mr. Troy.
He is just incredible!!!
This guy has the most awesome personality! He is such a people cat......more like a dog really. Hannah and I are just crazy about him ?? He loves me to death, and will curl up in my lap every chance he gets, but he LOVES Hannah! He has slept with her every night since we got him. As a mom, with a kid that had a broken heart over her "America" passing, nothing brings me more joy then seeing them sleep together. We are so enjoying this special time with him. He is getting big so fast! We will be ready for another one by the end of this year or beginning of next year. We want to enjoy this time with him when he is young, but want to get him a buddy in the future. I think another boy would be best. I want another one just like him. I am willing to wait for the right one. Here are some photos. He never let's me work on the computer alone!
All the best, Heather

Diane, Yes! She is Gorgeous! And cuddling up to me as I'm typing this. She is so playful, energetic, SUPER SMART, and such a conversationalist. Definitely TRIES to play hard to get but the second I turn away, she's rolling onto my feet and showing me her tummy asking for more attention. Everyone in the family Loves her as she successfully charmed us all.
At night she actually prefers to sleep in this little heated nook we made near the bed. However, in the morning she will hop up for some snuggles. And if I'm ever on the couch watching tv/on my laptop, she will immediately claim my lap real estate by stretching out as long as possible. Perfect companion.
Rosie LOVES the window; people watching and sunbathing. she follows my mom and me everywhere, inquiring about what we're doing.
She's the most perfect kitty I could imagine. Thank you so much for raising her. Whatever you do, it's amazing. Areya

Hi, Diane. I just had to write you to tell you how awesome Zoro is. We have had so much sorrow losing Batman and Robin within such a short time. Zoro has just moved into the house and taken it over! He is growing so fast! He is so playful and so loving. He greets us when we come home from wherever, and he rubs our legs whenever we aren't down at his level. He purrs constantly. He is a wonderful, terrific kitten, and we are so thankful you sent him to us.
Thank you! Susan and Mike in Pensacola

I know this is not a cool picture but it says something about her temperament. Poly went for a walk and picked up a tick. So he got a bath, and drops, and was not allowed on our bed all night. Minina kept him company on the floor all night even though her spot is between our pillows. She has a great sense of emotional empathy. Who said cats don't care about others?

Hi Diane
Just wanted to let you know that I took the kittens into their vet for their well kitten check & to schedule their appointment for neutering. The appointment went great and they behaved like little gentlemen. Our appointment was with my long time (40 years) vet Dr. Dave Tester. He checked them all out and then just stood looking at them with a big smile and his face. He said, "You see so many that look like the real thing and they're all wonderful but when you see the real deal it just kind of knocks you flat. These are magnificant kittens." I was, of course, very proud & knew the I needed to share that with you. They are growing like weeds. Both are strong, bright, very intelligent, friendly, playful, snuggly and active. They bring smiles and laughter to every moment of the day. I have named them Quavis and Asa. They are the loves of my life. If you'd like I can continue to keep you updated.

Hi. I just wanted you to know that the kitten, Mombasa, that I picked up on Sunday is doing great. He is adjusting very well. I'm already so I love with him. He is now use to two areas of the house. I'm getting him use to small areas a little at a time. He is so full of energy and personality. I laugh constantly at his tricks.
Thank you again and rest assured he is well lived and taken care of. Kathleen S.

Simba and Lucy are soooo big & super cute!! Can't believe they'll be a year soon. Both play a lot and BOTH are lap cats and never far from our sides. In fact, Simba has kinda turned into a "mommy's cat." He follows me everywhere & sits outside the shower when I'm in there moves to sink when I'm putting on my makeup! He has to know where I am at all times & talks all the time & calls out to me if he doesn't know where I am. So loving! Lucy is a doll baby! She talks but more with her brother to know where he is. They are close. She waits by the door (so does Simba) when they hear the garage door & get so excited when we come in & Lucy rolls over for her belly rub!
This last photo was posted on "All About Cats," our vet's Facebook page and got the most likes & comments!! Pam W

Hi Diane,
It was wonderful to talk with you again! Here are some of my favorite pictures of Niko and Tyko. Niko has a lighter coat and is very slightly taller. Tyko is the darker of the two, if I recall correctly he is the image of his father. The photo of them curled up together on the chair as kittens is my all time favorite and the screensaver for my phone, computer, etc. People are always noticing it and commenting on how beautiful they are - so true! As I was telling you, they have been absolute delights and joys in our lives.
We had to move from San Diego to Colorado in December 2011, and they were incredibly well behaved for the duration, which included two cross country plane rides, two ten hour day-in-a-row car rides, living in two different hotels for five months total and then moving into our new house. They took it all in stride, no behavior changes, no signs of stress - really they were amazing. I think they handled it all better than we did! We were also evacuated during the recent fires here and once again they took it all in stride. You simply could not find two better behaved, even tempered, loving, playful, sweet animals on the face of the planet. They are the best! :)
All the best, Colleen

Hi Diane,
As you know Newman is amazingly smart. It's as if he has his MD, Juris Doctor, PhD all in one Siamese cat!! Sweet as sweet can be. Precious, loving and the best kitty ever. When you took him out of the playpen 19 years ago and you handed him to us at your front door, I said to him "you are going to be my best friend and my 20 year old kitty". Well he is my best friend and we are working hard toward that 20 year old birthday. Thank you for our Newman!!
