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

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!

Diane,
This is Randy and Jeanette M****** bragging about our boy again. Buckwheat has passed into the last few years of his precious life. I can tell this because of his slowing down the pace-even with the two Tonkinese two-year olds in the house. But his enjoyment and joy of living has not diminished a bit! Buck's birthday will be on Monday, August 19th this year. He will be turning a very graceful and proud 16! We were blessed with his arrival about 7 or 8 weeks after that. He is a luscious Chocolate Point and has proven to be the Master of the House. We still giggle at the fact that we received him from you at the San Diego airport with a big green magic marker stamp on his neck; we are so grateful that you made the choice you did, our lives would not have been the same without him! (Boy, was he a chick-magnet on the plane and in the airport!!!)
So please put on a party hat and throw some confetti in the air for our little boy, Buckwheat on Monday.
You will never know the depth of our appreciation for your ability to select our 'Winner'
(We have one King German Shepherd 125lbs., 3.5 yrs. old)
Bucky still rules the roost.
Our Undying love and gratitude,

Hi Diane, it has been awhile since I've updated you on our girl. She is almost two years old, and as you can see, she is still the most beautiful loving girl. She is our beloved sweetheart. Funny, demanding, happy, as social as can be, and just simply the very best. She is a friend to all, and we still can't get over our good fortune in having her.
Hope all is well and that you are still breeding these fabulous babies.
Thank you again and again!!!!!

Piper is a wonderful girl. Smart as a whip and as loving as I've ever seen! So well-mannered and fun. I've been trying to get a good picture when she's playing, but it is hard to catch a flying Piper Jet on film!
One of her favorite play areas is our big spa tub - the furry mice are flying and so is Piper!
Notice her pearls - an accessory for any classy girl! How are her brothers and sister kitties?

... lately, elegant doesn't quite fit....she is a ball of energy and not quite aware of table edges, bed edges, etc....lots of thrills and spills, but most exciting news! She is a retriever!!!!!!! I have wanted a retriever so badly! I throw "mousey" and she chases, runs back, delivers to me! We do it over and over until she collapses happily.....what a fun girl she is!

Hi Diane
How are you? Hope all is well. I just want to share a picture of Coco & Angel. They turned 9 last July 29. They are healthy and doing well. Coco is still our little dog. We joke and say that God made a mistake and put a dog in a cat's body! He's too smart, curious, sweet, and constantly heels"' like a dog! He loves to lick our faces to show affection when we"re carrying him. Angel is still our Ms. Congeniality. Guests who come to our house love her as she is very friendly towards them. We hope they continue to stay healthy and live 9+ more years as they continue to give us joy.

Subject: Hi There~
Hi Diane!
I just wanted to say hi, give you an update on that perfect little kitten my parents got from you a couple months ago, and ask you a quick question.
So she is doing fantastic!! Her name is Snow (Snowy); she is the sweetest, most confident, curious and adorable little kitty any of us have ever met!! I can't believe how grounded she is, and at the same time how brave! She is the boss of my parents' two dogs, whom she likes to hunt and pounce on. She also has an affinity for the grandbabies (my three year old son and my sister's three year old twins) and especially their toys!! My son Elliott and she hang out together all the time when we visit my parents, and we oftentimes find her sleeping in his portable crib or with his little stuffed animal lovey that she likes too. She loves to lay in the sun, explore the house, and greets visitors more bravely than I've ever seen a cat greet!! We all just love her, but especially my mom. They already have a very special, close relationship and spend a ton of time together. I'll attach some pics, one of her in my son's puzzle box top, and one playing with my son's train table/dinosaurs (that were just her size to topple!!).
I hope that this email finds you doing well!!! My husband and I after meeting Snow and seeing how good she is with the baby (my son is really a cat person more than a dog person-- it's already apparent at his young age) were considering talking with you sometime in the future about putting down a deposit for another kitten! But we are in the middle of moving right now so it probably won't be for quite awhile. Seriously though, the breeding and care for that baby cat is so apparent in her attitude, intelligence and beauty.
Alright I will hopefully talk to you soon Diane!!
Take Care, Kara

RE: new kitten
...It was a pleasure speaking to you and I cannot express how much joy our Skye has brought into our lives. This is especially so now that we have lost our much loved older cat. Thank you also for the understanding you showed regarding the heartbreak of losing such a valued member of the family. I am sending along a few pics of Skye letting you see the beauty she is now. I look forward to being in touch.

PLAY TIME - CLEO and MARNIE
9/12/2015
9/12/2015
This morning I was awakened at 6:30 by a plaintive meowing at the door. I was in the downstairs bedroom with Cleo, and Marnie had slept upstairs with John. Marn wanted to come in so I opened the door. What ensured was priceless! It was like a slow-motion ballet Marnie finally stopped hissing and the two of them started checking each other out at close range - cautiously but curiously. I must have sat on the floor for half an hour as they circled each other and finally figured out that they had a playmate handy.
They are now upstairs in the living room playing around the chair at the desk and on the couch. They are buddies at last! And all four of us get to sleep together in the master bedroom tonight!!!

PRINCESS MUSHETTE

Hi Diane,
Our Mushette was born in Sept 2009 so she is 6 years old. Mushette has so much personality. She "owns"' our happy home. She makes the rounds of every bedroom with an uncanny knack of sleeping with those in need of comfort who are either sick or in need of comfort. Just last night she let out the most plaintive of cries as she waltzed down the hall with a pink ribbon in her mouth hoping that someone would play with her and unhappy that all three children's doors were closed!
Attached are a few very recent photos of the Princess Mushette and her family!
I look forward to talking to you and hopefully to adopting a new member of the family.
Best, Edward
PRINCESS MUSHETTE and her FAMILY
