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

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,

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!

Dear Diane,
Princess ...is beautiful. She plays fetch and loves people. Our other cat from you was a one person cat but this little lady loves everybody. She cuddles up next to complete strangers. So sweet. So spoiled. We love her dearly.
Princess loves her new home and owners. Bert and I are both retired so we spend hours playing with and loving Princess. You can be so proud of the beautiful and intelligent kittens you raise. We are so grateful to you for giving us Princess.
LILLY BUTTERS at 17

Lilly was so sweet..which of course everyone must say.. but she adored my son..slept with him every night when he was growing up..then when he moved out..she was right by me every night..she loved to lay in the sun ..she always went our to water the plants with me..she truly was just a sweet cat..had her favorite places to sleep..but when the kids come home each night (My sons girl friend lives with me.).she would get up every night and come down and just start talking. And talking..very animated..sat right between my son and his gf..every night.telling them about her day..i did let her sleep on heating pad under blankets..one night i forgot to turn it on..she got up and put her paw on my face and just held it there till I woke to tend to her..In the end I turned it on and off all night.she was in control of this house..always sitting with us at dinner..
She was just the mainstay of this home..quiet but always steady..and there..very loving ..she adored her Ian ..he was her boy..and he is close to 28 yrs old now..slept with her every night past few months..she just purred and purred..and purred..he was her everything.. (don't know if this helps I am not a good writer..and she was just such a given around here..such a loss.) She was itty bitty but mighty in her own way. She loved tuna sandwiches..always came down to share with us..she loved Ian and Casey..my son and his gf..and Oscar,. our other kitty. She cleaned his face and groomed him..and then in the end he would check on her.and sleep with her and groom her..they were nurturing with each other..we are so happy to be able to get another kitten from you. I told Oscar all about him.
ARCHIE

Diane,
Archie is a happy city kitty! He's like a little prince greeting his public. He loves going out for walks to the park, grocery stores, outdoor concerts and outdoor cafes. He is so relaxed during his outdoor travels (in his backpack) that people have asked if he is tranquilized. Hundreds have asked to give him a pat and to take his picture.
Archie (like Chester) greets the world with a smile! He especially loves his daily visit to the office. All 5 of our office staff are self appointed aunts and uncles who find him very endearing! Archie's attitude: my office, my staff and my (they always have a collection saved for him for play) boxes! He gets so much attention he hates to leave.
Archie is a tall, slender kitty which did make it difficult to find a correct fitting snow coat for our winter walks. So, off we went to the local "designer" pet store to be fitted. They love to see us coming because their customers really enjoy watching my cool cat patiently trying on various outfits.
At home he is full of playful energy yet loves his quiet lap time! It's been such fun watching him discover life outside the windows (we are on the 20th floor). Every morning he patrols the window sills until the seagulls arrive for their flyby! He especially loves watching helicopters pass by! During his first snowfall he was pawing the window trying to catch the snowflakes.
He is such a snuggle puss! Every night he climbs under the covers where he sleeps for the night. In the morning he purrs incessantly, wraps himself around my neck until I get up!
He is a bit of a goof ball with his play. He has some unbelievable moves with his very high jumps! He loves to run free up and down our self contained hallway, chasing a ping pong ball or jumping after a cloth strip wand! He is doing very well with walking on a leash inside our building.
I'm sure you realize by now how perfect the Archie & Judy match has become! Life is good!!!

In a message dated 04/04/2013 ****** writes: This is Joel & Susan emailing from San Jose. We acquired a female applehead Siamese kitten from you in 1996 & she is still the adorable love of our household. I saw your website & thought I would send an email.
Our Siamese cat, Sierra, has just turned 17 on April 1st & lives with the 2 of us & a 12-yr-old Maine Coon. Those 2 breeds seem to bond well together, the breeder close who is to Salinas had several applehead Siamese in fact.
Sierra has been about 99% healthy her entire life, about 3 - 4 yrs. ago she had some arthritis in her legs, so we've been dosing both our cats with hip & joint with MSM supplement every morning with their breakfast. It is effective for Sierra's leg stiffness, much less limping & she jumps on her own to her own claimed high "turf" spots, like at the foot of our bed, or the back of our living room couch on her "blankies" about 18-in. square that Susan made especially for her (even made her a pillow of the same yarn & she loves it!). Sierra also loves to claim the TV remote in whatever room she's in for some strange reason, I've seen her using it for a pillow on occasion.
Thank you.
Your friends,
Joel & Susan

Hi Diane I thought you might enjoy seeing some pics of Milo. He is quite an adventurer and wants to get to the highest place possible. I came home one day and found him on top of the cupboards in my laundry room. Ironically this is where my Max (deceased) used to lay all the time. Almost made me cry. The other picture was one day when I was getting ready to go away for a couple of days. I had been going in and out to the car putting things in to take and came back to get my purse and he was snuggled inside as if to say, "you are not leaving without me!" He is in what I call the "teenage stage", he is long and lanky and curious about everything and gets into everything. But still a "Mama's" boy and cuddles up to my legs in bed every night-
I loved the U-tube video of your babies! I will go back on and put a comment. Take care,

Hi Diane,
Thanks for the link! Those kittens are adorable. That brought back fun memories. Myles was dozing in my lap while I played the videos; he lifted his head and looked around when he heard the kittens mew and squeak. Hard to believe he will be eight years old this summer! We all love this cat more every day--he is the sweetest, cuddliest, craziest, and most obliging of felines, not to mention handsome. His fur is plush, his eyes are bluer than our lake in summer, and his voice is powerful and frequently heard, if somewhat less than melodic. Your Siamese cats are the best.
We're all doing great, thanks.
