    WHS. Give them 6 months together and it'll be one big f**k off cat and half a guinea pig.

      Our Pigges co-exist quite happily with the moggies.
      But when we got the kittens from the RSPCA, we insisted that they had to be kittens so that they'd grow up with the guinea pigs and be used to being around them. It seems to have worked.

      And our Piggies are BIG BU99ERS too.
      They make excellent first pets for children and if you get fed up of them I believe they're good on the barbie too
      I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

        They're the national dish in Peru; you can even get frozen guinea pig in the supermarkets there.

          Ok, takes through killing, skinning and jointing a Guinea Pig.

          What colour should its viscerea be? Should we look for anything in particular as we eviscerate? Liver, kidneys, spleen etc?

            I was just preempting the fact that whenever I mention guinea piggies some chirpy bugger pipes up about the time they spent in South America and how yummy they were.

            I could not kill and eat one - but I have no problem with other people doing so.
            My piggies are cute and make a special cooing noise when they see me

                I wonder which CUK'er is going to post on there asking for "recipes" ?
                Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                  - that's a great site, full of adorable nitwits, potty about piggies.

                      Guinea pigs here from next week. We are getting them for the children, however, I am pretty excited myself - they are very cute indeed.

                      Not that it needs justification, but there are further reasons I can readily think of - it will teach my 7 yo daughter some responsibility (at least for a week) and also in about 4 years time it will give her some idea what losing a loved one is like.
