Keep the guinea pig safely in the cage, and the cats will come check him out. We have two pigs and three cats, and ours come up to the cage all the time. I wouldn’t let the pigs out of the cage unless you were right there, though. The cats might be a little more interested in the pigs than you’d like them to be! You see them as pets, but the cats will either see them as toys or LUNCH!

if your cats are older and hunters by nature,there is no point introducing them as the cats will just follow their instincts.
if you had a kitten and had them 2getha since they were both young its possible.just for short amounts of time each day getting longer,and squirting the kitten with water if he tries to go for the piggie.
if ur cats are full grown u can still get a guinea u just hav to b careful.
only let the piggie run aroud in the house when the cats are either shut in another room or are shut out of the one u r letting piggie run in.
a running ball isnt a gud idea as the cats may bat him around and it will only increase their intrest in him/her.
You don’t
Your cats will eat him.
Keep the Guinea pig in a secure cage.
