This depends on the nature of the cat. Most cats and many dogs (not all) have an innate instinct to hunt and kill. Guinea-pigs, especially small ones, are prime game for a cat, and the two should not be left together unsupervised. Most cats have this hunting instinct, although some are simply not interested.
