Sometimes the cats ignore the piggies, and sometimes they are interested in sniffing. L and I are always very close and watching carefully, because it only takes a small scratch to allow fatal bacteria into the guinea pig's blood. So far none of the cats have ever been aggressive, but we will always be very cautious and aware.
Oliver, Basil, and Tica thoroughly sniffed Luna, who continued her satisfied little almost-constant soft chortle unconcernedly. Basil was pushy about his sniffing, which isn't surprising as he's pushy about everything. When Tica finished sniffing Luna, Luna returned the favor. As soon as L took her hand off Tica, she ran away frightened.
I like this shot of Basil and Tica--our biggest and smallest side by side.
