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,
Sheryl

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

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!
PICKLES! 3 update letters

Diane-
Hi- my kitten is doing very well! I named him Pickles. He has been using the litter box regularly and eating well. He has slept through the night (until about 6am). On the first day, he was quite scared at first, but within a couple of hours he was out of the bathroom and exploring the condo. He loves playing with his toys and cuddling with us, his humans.
Eric and I both love Pickles so much already! He is beautiful and has brought us so much joy in the past couple of days. I look forward to our many great years ahead.
Thanks for checking in- Kristine

Diane- Hi, I just wanted to send a quick update on my beautiful boy, Pickles. He is doing great and I cannot imagine life without him (even though we've only had him a few months)!
Everyone who meets him thinks he is the most amazing and gorgeous cat ever.
Eric loves playing with Pickles. His favorite toys are a Siamese cat beanie baby attached to a ribbon on a wand and his stuffed rats (to play fetch). Pickles also loves to cuddle and is always sitting on our laps when they're available. He enjoys rides in the car and walks to the mailbox.
Above all else, Pickles loves our constant attention and will meow and even break the rules (like getting on kitchen counters) if we are not paying enough attention to him.
Attached are several pictures of Pickles from the past months. Thank you so much for providing us with such a wonderful and loving baby kitty! Hope you are having a great holiday season.
Best, Kristine & Eric

I sent you several pictures in late December. More recently, a photographer friend did a mini photo shoot of Pickles- attached are a couple more pictures from that. Hope you are well! Thank you again for breeding such a wonderful kitty!
Dolly the seeing eye cat
1/2/2022
Dear Diane, You asked me if I would write something about Dolly and what she meant to us. I feel inadequate to the task. I know you will understand when I say she was such a 'human' cat, only a better human than most of us.
We came to San Diego to visit your house in the summer of 1994. I was buying her for my mother because my father had recently left the family after, 40 years of marriage, and she was devastated. I remember Dolly and her siblings were in a play pen in your living room and neither Dolly, nor any of the kittens, seemed particularly eager to leave their pleasant life. Certainly Dolly knew she'd never seen us before. She eyed us warily and seemed to know exactly what was going on. Some kind of 'moment' had come and an important process was taking place. I recall her carefully sizing me up, not even sure if I was allowed to hold her.

Dear Diane It has been only three days, but already my life would be unthinkable without her. It was like a bolt of lightning the first time I picked her up. The strongest possible soul connection. It is such a honor to be her guardian. Thank you for giving her such a perfect start in life and for entrusting this magnificent being to me. I cannot begin to find enough words to properly express my gratitude. Charles

Hi Diane, Here are a couple of photos of Chai-Toi.
She is so beautiful, loving, sweet and playful, and adjusting to dogs and very comfortable with Soon-Yee.
Chai-Toi is spending more time on my lap and cuddling, she's a love muffin. I'm so glad to have her.
Thank you, Rebecca

She's everything a Siamese can be. Very affectionate. Keeps track of everything I do and wants to be in on everything.
Talks her head off when she wants something. (She has more vocalizations than Mel Blank) she takes toys into the tub where I can hear her banging around
late at night as the toys rickoshay around.
She sqwawks at me every morning to get up and when I do, I'll find the bed full of toys that she had brought for me to "make them go".
Loves to be carried in my arms and meet people, She's all Siamese and a yard long. What else does one need to know? -- Jeff F.

Hi Mamma Diane
I am very happy and loving my new home.
I have my new mom and dad well trained already.
We play soccer with ping pong balls and I pretend to love my llama friend but he's not as fun as my sibling at your house.
I sleep on a cuddly soft blanket between Lynne and Bruce and I sit quietly in the morning until they wake.
Then I gently pat their noses with my paw and give them morning kisses.
I love to sit on the screened in porch and watch the birds and squirrels! Life is good.
Sending love - meow -- ZuZu

Diane - My saga. I have wanted for years a cat that was mine. A cat who would follow me. A cat to sleep with. Rafiki is all of that and more.
Last night I brought her into bed. She got right down under the covers and purred. That’s purrrrfection. I got up to use the restroom.
She walked with me. Came back used her cat box. Then we snuggled back to sleep until 6:30. Your training has made her my lifetime pal. -- Judy

She is very inquisitive and loves her toys and cat tree. I have a friend who treats her like a grandchild.
She has made her a decorative box with a pillow (2nd picture), a cave box to hide in (3rd picture), a pillow for her basket for
bird watching & a hammock under the sofa table for relaxing (4th picture), and a tent with noise making toys hanging from the top,
which she plays with when I am trying to watch the news.
We spend a lot of time together; she sits in my lap when I am reading the paper or watching TV, and shares the chair with me
in my office when we are doing computer work. There have been a few times when she has been a little aggressive,
but I think she is just playing with me and will probably outgrow this behavior. She is a lot of fun & I am very glad to have her.
