Got over the fence before dad could of done something to save it. On the fence was red pore marks the guin you could here wheeking in pain from a mile away! From that day I never leave my guin outside. When ever I see a cat in our backyard I get my bb gun and shoot it in the head.

It might sound cruel! But people shouldn't leave there cat's outside.

That is sick.. Its not the cats fault and its not the owners fault. If you leave your pig un-attended outside you deal with the conquences. People may disagree but I do not believe that cats should be shut up indoors for all their life.

Cats are much safer inside not only from dogs, coyotes and cars but from diesese and illness.

That is wrong that you shoot cats. Isn't that illeagal? And what if they're family pets? What if they had no intention whatsoever of eating or carrying away your pigs?

Where is that white piggy on Guinea Lynx?

I do agree that in certain areas that it is a MUST to keep cats indoors.. but not here.

What a poor piggie. I'm glad it's okay. This is one of the reasons why I don't like birds to much. (no offence to anyone who likes birds)

The attitude is unneccesary. The language you just used is borderline.

More and more predatory birds are moving into the cities due to the loss of their natural habitat. You can make sure your GPs are protected from predators or you can ignore their needs and be responsible if something happens.

There is no validaton for leaving pets vulnerable to predators.

There are guinea pigs in the wild . One of my co workers is from peru , she tells me that they live in the mountains there ,and thet she sees some every summer when she goes home for holidays , I told her when she goes this summer to get a picture that I could post on here . I hope she gets one .But i think it would be so diffucult because they are so fast.

Was the pig named cream puff is the white one on cavy spirts adoptable page? heres the link http://cavyspirit.com/adoptables.htm

I'd also like to throw in, there's no way I'd keep my guinea pigs outside at the moment. It's 30 degrees C. How are your pigs coping CuteFluffyThing? Do they have a cool spot?

[littlebear]

Wow I hope the cavy gets better. I never leave my cavys outsite with out me watching them.

My cat's too old to care about the guinea pigs. But Kitty is a crazy little cat. He sometimes sits next to the cage, the silly thing.

Have any of you herd of lids, put a top on your outside run, it solves everything

[Master_stghm]

What are you talking about "language was borderline" ? I don't get it?

But shooting cats with bb guns is just mean. I don't think cats should be kept inside either, except if they live in an urban environment. But with houses and yards I believe is okay because cats like to explore. The only cat that got sick was the one we kept inside all the time. but why am I talking about cats?

[CattOfTheGarage]

I agree with the lids thing, I've always made covered runs for pigs when they're grazing, because of cats, let alone hawks! I never even considered leaving them in an open enclosure.

[Cavykid14]

Wow that is the most immature thing you could do, Even though the cat nabbed your pig you shouldn't result to violence, try to capture the cat and call the humane society. Hopefully they will send it to kitty heaven in a non lethal way.

~And about the cats, I think cats should be aloud outside , just like piggies need floor time, cats need time to roam around and 'hang loose' :b.
