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!
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,

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!
SASHA MAKES ME LAUGH
7/6/2015
7/6/2015
My little girl is such a blessing. We have been having the very BEST time together. Sasha has become her official name but I came close to calling her "Joy".
One friend wanted me to call her Elizabeth (after the exquisite violet blue eyes that she has in common with Miss Taylor.) So much heart and intelligence (smarter than many adult cats) but she has also been displaying her humorous side to me. Sasha makes me laugh. A fascinating being. I love her so much. A fellow Siamese owner once said that these unique cats are a cross between a swan and a monkey. There is nothing like them. My favorite animal in the world. So far, she seems to be doing fine with her alone time while I am away during the day. (We were both concerned). Lots of quality time at night. Yes, she now has her very own television.
This is one of her interactive toys. However, nothing pleases her more than crumpled up paper.
We already play fetch and retrieve.

Hi Diane, Well, 2 weeks since Beau arrived and as you can see they are getting along famously! Niko on the top looking at Beau, Beau in the middle checking out Ty. Sooooo cute. The big boys are fascinated with Beau, though somewhat unsure as he insists on tackling them and playing non-stop. But they tolerate it well and are even starting to join in the fun. The interesting thing is that Niko and Ty will not let Beau out of their sight - they want to "watch"' him all the time!
Beau has adapted seamlessly, he is inquisitive, energetic, loving, and all around perfection.
Thanks again for giving me all 3 of my loves! - Colleen

Hello Diane
Wow! Loki's personality is FANTASTIC. Very confident, playful, smart, just perfect. He is still on the small side but he is just over a year old and I assume that he will grow for a couple of years. He greets us every night waiting at the door and demands his treats. We love him! Here he is "attacking" our Doberman puppy Daisy: Click for VIDEO
Enjoy your day! Karl U.

Finley's a remarkable cat. He plays so nicely with the dogs. And he is a good cuddler with my 18.5 year old Burmese. Also a great traveler to our country house. Everyone who comes to the house falls in love with him. He's so curious, friendly, and affectionate. He always likes to see what is going on. And he's just gorgeous. I am so happy with him. Thanks for breeding such incredible cats.

Hi, Diane,
I thought that you might like to see a couple of pictures of our kitten, Milo, He is very playful and will bring us his toy mouse first thing in the morning while we are still sleeping and wants to play fetch endlessly. It is pretty amusing. He actually will play fetch longer than our Golden Retriever will play fetch with his ball! We also got a very tall cat tree/house and Milo loves to run up to the very top and then also curl up and sleep in the little cubbie on it. You sent with him in his crate on the plane a cat bed. Milo loves to drag that bed all over the house. He takes it in his mouth and runs full speed through the house with it. He will then dive under it and tackle it. That is really fun to see. He loves for us to play with him, but he also is able to entertain himself, devising games with his toys, pouncing on them and stalking them. We wanted to be sure to get a lap kitty, and he hasn't disappointed us. He likes to plop down in our lap and stretch himself out lengthwise. He definitely has a fun personality.
The picture is of Milo curled up in his basket of toys. He definitely is "all eyes". Thanks again for sending him to us!
Cheers!

Tiberius is AWESOME!! He is doing fantastic!!! The ride home was very uneventful...he slept most of the way. When I got home, I did what you suggested. I took him in the bedroom and rubbed him down with some old clothes. He was a bit frightened at first, to be expected. But I cradled him in my arms, kissed him repeatedly and pet him. It took only about an hour or so and he totally warmed up to me...the bonding was well on it's way.
He is a lover-boy, VERY playful and EXTREMELY vocal. He found some of Landru's toys on the floor the first night and played like they were his. It was a joy to watch. He is eating extremely well and using the new litter box I bought for him with no problems. The stools look great...nice and firm (just what you wanted to know...LOL!!!).
As for his interaction with Landru...it is developing nicely. At first, he wanted to have nothing to do with Ti. He'd hiss and growl at him. But Ti wasn't afraid...actually Landru ran away most of the time when Ti would growl at HIM. He is fearless. He is so outgoing it's great to watch him tear up the place. And as of yesterday they had both really accepted each other...sniffing each other and starting to play together. They've even shared the same food bowl...together! I was afraid of Landru eating the kitten food, but he is totally uninterested in it. It's Ti that will eat everything I put down...for both cats. He loves the dry Royal Canin, but turns up his nose to the canned Innova. I bought some of the Pro-Plan kitten formula and he chows it down.
Your assessment of the situation as to Ti being the best match for Landru was SPOT ON!!! Ti is very inquisitive and has already made my entire condo his home. Whenever he sees me he runs to me and wants me to pick him up and pet him. He follows me around and even comes when I call him. His purring is so loud I wouldn't be surprised if you can hear it in San Diego. Needless to say...I AM VERY, VERY HAPPY!!! He loves his new home and family.
Thanks so much for breeding and selling me this amazing kitten,
Bob
P.S. I am convinced through his actions and behavior that my Mr. Atoz's spirit is in my little baby. It is a wonderful beautiful thing!

Hey there Diane, And I am now VERY happy to report that the 2 cats have made the transition and are now getting along great and playing together. No more hissing or growliing from either of them. I am so excited and it wasn't too bad...it took only 6 days or so. And of course Tiberius is still doing fantastic.
Email me when you get the time. Thanks again, Bob
