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!
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!

Hello Diane Here's a photo of Sydney at 17. She was very sweet. She didn't talk much while Toby (her 1/2 brother) was alive. Once he passed, she found her voice. She got along great with our golden retriever. She often slept using the Golden's plumed tail as a blanket. She loved playing with the feathers on a fishing pole toy. That was her absolute favorite. She liked it so much, we had to hide the toy in a chest of drawers. A few weeks later, I kept wondering why my husband kept leaving the chest drawer open. He didn't. She had figured out how to grab the drawer pull in her mouth and back up so she could pull out the feathers and play by herself! She also used to love to steal the bows off Christmas gifts. She would steal them and hide them and bring them back out to play with in June. I never did find where she kept her stash! Here are a few of more photos of her I pulled off my computer. She's the little one in the first photo. Valorie

SALIKA and BAHT Feb 2018
2/1/2018
02/01/2018
Diane, As Salika approaches her first birthday next month"” March 2nd"” I wanted to let you know what an incredible cat she is. She's petite, and a huge bundle of energy, playing around the house, chasing and retrieving her toys. (By the way, she LOVES the spring toy you told me about!) She is such a clown and makes me laugh every day. The most incredible thing about her is her intelligence. I’ve had many dearly loved, and smart Siamese, over the course of my 71 years, but I’ve never had a Siamese as smart as Salika. I swear she could read a book!! She's such a retriever, always bringing her toy back to me, placing it at my feet, or in my lap or right next to me on the sofa. And if I'm working at the kitchen counter when she brings me her toy, she taps my foot or gently stretches up my leg on her hind legs to let me know she's there and has returned the toy. She is an amazing girl! She’s not a frequent talker, but when she does, pit’s always to tell me something"¦. I’ve locked Baht in the closet, the toy was pushed under the closet door, etc. She’s very expressive and I have no trouble understanding her message. I’ve often thought that it’s a good thing she and I came together now that I'm retired, rather than working the long hours I worked, because she requires a lot of interaction and attention. She’s not a "door-stop" cat that you can leave alone and they’ll happily sleep all day. She is such a delight and brings me such joy, I had to let you know. I just took these photos of Salika. You can see Baht (who will be 15 years old on February 4th) in the rocker behind her. They are such good companions"¦ they wrestle together, play together and often sleep together. They groom each other daily. I do think Salika has brought youth back to my dearly loved Baht. I hope you and your cats are doing well. Beth C
I hope these photos show you how petite she is. I’ve not weighed her since she was at the vet in October for her spay, but She’s a small girl.

Hi Diane, I wanted to send a quick note to say that the little guy is doing great. He took a few hours to get used to the house yesterday, and now he's playing all over and is very confident. He slept in my bed last night, hasn't had any issues, and is the sweetest little guy. He's a such a lover and is so smart and curious. Here's a picture of us watching TV last night. Thanks, Brian

Here's Ty. He's affectionate, playful, loves his toys and is very involved in everything. He has an opinion on all subjects , even while his mouth is full! He gets along with the bird and dogs really well He annoys them a bit because he is very possessive of me. He is going to be a great cat. Oh and he like to play fetch and carry things around!

Hello, Diane! The girls and I just returned from a visit to the vet, and I am happy to report that they are doing spectacularly well! Marnie weighed in at 11.6 lbs and Cleo at 7.2. Their shots are up to date, and the vet not only pronounced them healthy but gorgeous as well! My husband 's lap continues to be Cleo 's favorite napping ?? spot, and Marnie continues to favor me. So all is well on the Oregon front.
We love <3 them madly, and I think it's mutual. Penny B.

Our baby had his six month birthday last Friday, and he is growing to be a very handsome young man (of course)! However, even beyond that, he far, far exceeds any expectations I might have had about the kind of kitten he would be. He is as loving and gentle with me as he has always been, and he is scary-smart. I long ago lost track of how many words and phrases he knows and responds to. He also is unbelievably personable. He comes when I call him (which he has been doing for some time now), and he frequently invites me to play. He know which closet I keep his toys in, and he sits in front of the door and looks back at me clearly asking me to open it (which I always do; it is important for him to know that I "get it"' when he communicates with me). Then he will play "fetch"' with me until he tires (or I do). I throw the toy, he runs and gets it and drops it at my feet. If I take too long to pick it up and throw it again, he taps my leg with his paw. Another of his favorite games is for me to hide a toy (I have to be quick to pull this off"'he's not easy to fool), and then say "Where it is? Go find it!"' He knows just what that means and immediately goes on the hunt. When he finds the toy, he brings it back to me"'and a fanfare of praise. For Christmas he received a nifty cat tree, which he enjoys, and which we work into our routine from time to time. I love this boy so much!!
Warmest regards, Valerie
GiGi

7/25/2016
Hi Diane, I just wanted to give you an update on the most precious, baby kitty in the whole wide world. I decided to name her GiGi and it is the perfect fit for this young lady. She spent about the first three days in my very large closet,and luckily I was not working, so I spent most of my time in there with her too. After those three days we graduated to my entire bedroom where she was introduced to her brother Timmy. I must say Timmy was not thrilled in the beginning with our new addition, but we took it slowly and now she follows him around like the good, big brother he has turned out to be. It's truly adorable to watch. My Labrador, Piper, could literally care less about Gigi which in turn makes GiGi feel safe to cuddle up to Piper whenever she wants to. She is a true delight and now definitely knows I am her mom, and comes to me immediately when I called her name. We introduced her slowly to every other room in the house, so I can say with confidence at this point, that she is comfortable in every room and is having a blast exploring everywhere. I am in awe of how much I love her. She is so smart and such a little monkey, I just delight in watching anything she does. My husband is absolutely crazy about her also. I hope you enjoy the picture. I thought it was so cute! She is sitting right in my lap as I am texting this to you. So thank you again for being the incredible breeder that you are. The babies you are producing are beyond incredible and I know the hard work that goes into it. I am so looking forward to September when I adopt another little girl from you to join our family. You were so right to guide me away from taking two at the same time. I totally get it now. When we get our next baby from you in September, GiGi should turn out to be a wonderful big sister and show her all the ropes. So I just wanted to update you quickly and let you know that we are absolutely crazy in love with our new baby. Have a good week Diane. I will be talking to you more as we head toward September. Warmly, Liz
NEW KITTEN SETTLING IN

In a message dated 07/04/2013 ****** writes:
I think she is feeling relaxed and at home. She is the cutest thing, we are just waiting for her voice to become the Siamese that she is. She does not like to eat alone and prefers to sleep next to me instead of on my lap. Right now she is on the back of the couch playing with my hair. She is kind of a piggy, she will fight us for our food...we don't give it to her of course. I had to remove her from the dishwasher 8 times while I was trying to empty it. So you can say she is fantastic, inquisitive, smart, sassy, and at times gassy.
Thank you very much for blessing us with her
