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

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 - It was good to speak with you Friday. Dad is excited about the little girl kitten schedule for arrival at our farm (for his 101 birthday). Below are several pixs of Piwacket and Emma Peel. Pi is the older girl (by about 7 mos) and I official gave Dad to her in August 2005. My mom has died in April that year and my Dad attributes his continued good Heath and longevity to Pi. When and if he needs an obit he wants it to closed with " long life due to the love of a good Siamese." Liz

Diane, Wanted to give you an update on my beautiful, sweet kitten "Bailey" from the June 2012 litter. He just got neutered and has healed perfectly, in fact I don't think he noticed anything happened ... ha. The vet says he at his ideal weight, weighing in at 10.2 pounds at 7 months! He is playful, affectionate, curious, and is SO smart, just as you said he would be. He comes when he is called, follows me everywhere, lets me sleep through the night, and nudges me awake if i snooze the alarm too many times. I'm in love!!! Here he is sitting on my lap, sitting on his favorite cat shelf where he loves to watch the birds at the bird feeder, and taking a walk in his cat stroller (he jumps in it every time I take it out). Please don't ever stop breeding these amazing babies!

Dags the Kitten

Hi, "Subi" is the orange tabby was got as a rescue last year and now we have "Dags".
Dags has a wonderful personality. He's very outgoing, curious and is not be shy about demanding a lap to sit on or more room to stretch out on in the bed. We had no problem introducing him to Subi and let them be alone together much sooner than expected. Subi seemed to accept him quickly and Dags was able to hold his own with the roughhousing. There's a lot of stalking and chasing around our place these days.

Their personalities are hilarious because they match my two sons!!! Romain (my 8 year old) and Margot are quieter, very cautious, they both know what they want, they love food. Arthur (my 6 year old, on the picture) and Louise are full of mischief, they are always out to trick you, they can be clumsy in a very funny way, food is definitely not their priority, and they always love to push your buttons! Truthfully, they are adorable (as my 6 year old says it)! My oldest has loved introducing them to his friends! They are an amazing fit to our family!
Thanks! Alix F.

BABY BLUE
11/4/2016
11/4/2016
Dear Diane
Blue is thriving...and growing up too fast. He has an incredibly sweet temperament! He begs to be in my lap, and he is simply ecstatic when he is there, squirming around, stretching, purring, and very gently kneading my clothes. He will often put his little paws on my face as he looks up at me, and I never have any concern there; he always uses only his pads. He, in turn, gets kisses from me all over his face, neck, back, and tummy. Perhaps you recall that in an earlier email I wrote you that I sang him to sleep on the way home from the airport after I picked him up. What I sang was "His Eye is on the Sparrow"', an old spiritual. Well, he still responds to that song. When I sing it to him, he stops squirming, settles down, and often puts his little face in the crook of my elbow. Other than that, he is super-energetic and amazingly fast, dashing around and exploring everything. And he is quite intelligent. He quickly gets bored with a toy"'enjoys it for a few minutes, and then starts looking around, bright-eyed, to find something else of interest. It's been quite a challenge to stay ahead of him in the "kitten-proofing"' department, and I have even had to install child-proof latches on some of my drawers. I love him dearly! I will send off the photos to you now from my friend Grant's iPad (you should be able to open them...let me know if not), and I will continue to keep you up to date on our little boy's progress.
Warm regards, Valerie L.
SAMI & KIKO

11/8/2013
Dear Diane,
Hi Diane, I guess you can see I take a lot of pictures of my babies. Kiko is the photogenic one as you can see, always ready for the camera. He is so small, maybe 9 lbs. and has to be held all the time, like a child........love it. When he wants something he gets it. As I tell everyone, we live in their world and whatever they want, except outside and plants, they get. He is the super friendly one and even if a worker is here at the house and he's never seen them before, he's right there rubbing up against them. Of course everyone loves him because he's not only friendly but beautiful. Quite the Daddy's boy.
Sami doesn't like the camera so much, harder to get pictures of him. He is a bigger boy and weighs almost 18 lbs. Doesn't like to be carried which is okay since I do have a bad back. He and his brother are super close and pretty much inseparable. If I can't find one the other is right behind me helping me look for his brother. Sami is the personality of the house, really entertaining to watch. Tweedy Bird has been his favorite toy since he was a kitten and brings it to Mommy everyday. As you can see in the picture he loves to get any new toy roll it in the dry food bowl then take it to the water fountain then........drop it on the floor someplace.
Yep!!! then one of us walks on it and squish, all the water squirts out. He is a huge talker and a Mommy's boy. Has to be with me all the time and will not sleep anywhere unless next to me, I mean up against me, which is a comfort to me. If Sami is not next to me at bed time, he got in a closet or behind a closed room.
Since Brent and I have no children, they are not our cats, they are our children and we treat them as kids...............we love them sooo much and as much as it hurt when I lost my Coco, I'm so glad the day I called you and then picked up Kiko 3 days later. They are such a joy in our life and give us so much love in return. I'm sure one day down the road I will be getting another baby from you.
Thanks Diane, You're wonderful . Sue

Hello,
My name is Teresa, I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I bought a Siamese kitten from you in 1996, she was born April 1. Cindy-Lou lived to almost 19 years old. She was very sweet loving and loyal cat. I would like to get another kitten from you. Could you please let me know if you have any kittens coming up in the new year?
Here's a picture of her at 17 years old. She was a show stopper.
Warm regards,

MOCHI: Two letters - at 4 months and at 7 months

Hi Diane We took a picture of Mochi to send to you. She is the most beautiful, smart and loving girl! She is fascinated by the many things around her. She discovered my husband's guitar playing this morning and zeroed in on his every musical move. She was studying where the sound came from as well as the percussive movements that created the sound. As I mentioned previously, she loves playing the piano too. We cannot say enough about how special she is!! We have each fallen madly in love with her. All of her many outstanding attributes speak volumes to her incredible start in life...none of which would have happened without the exceptional care and love you've provided her. You are the best! Thank you again. Marcéa
11/8/2016
Hello Diane, I wanted to take a moment to send our warm thanks to you for bringing our dear Mochi into our life. Today is her 4 month old birthday and we can't imagine our world without her in it. She is so smart and intuitive. Each morning she wakes up to give us each a big kiss. She's always so loving and affectionate too! As I previously mentioned, she adores music and always makes a point of taking part when we are practicing. I think she has become a true jazz aficionado. It's been quite a wonderful experience to watch her many playful antics and wondering just who our grown up Mochi will soon be. We love her so much! Enclosed is an updated photo of her taking a rest next to her favorite playhouse. After buying her many wonderful kitty toys and cat exercise gyms...she has fallen in love with a seltzer box! Isn't that always the way it goes. Thank you so much Diane for this beautiful little girl.
All the best to you, Marcéa T.
