Well... this is a tough question because it really depends on the cat and guinea pigs personality. Personally I keep my cat as far away from my guinea pigs as possible because I don't trust my cat. If there is no way your cat could get into their cage or stick its paw in the side it would be okay.... But no I don't think that I would put your cat near them. I know of some people that have cats and guinea pigs which are best friends but No you shouldn't.

Does the guinea pig and cat fight?

While most of our cats accept the guinea pigs we keep at home and generally ignore them, one of them can be a little aggressive. It depends on the cat, but as a general rule, I would HIGHLY recommend that you don't keep them together. A cat is much larger than a guinea pig and can easily kill it with a bite or a swat of their paw or a scratch. Guinea pigs are prey animals and cats are hunters. Bad combination. Keep them separated please!

If your dog is whining, then it wants the guinea pigs. Either to chase it or check it out. My dog whines if she's inside and saw a cat. The same effect on your dog with guinea pigs. Hope this helped!

Why would a cat eat a rat but not a guinea pig?

Many domestic guinea pigs are too big for the average pet cat to eat. But be careful - some cats will certainly go for a baby guinea pig. I once had a cat that was an excellent ratter, killing rats quickly and eating them, and she also got in to my baby guinea-pigs and started carrying them off one by one.
