I find it difficult to fathom the idea of the typical housecat/barn cat
taking an adult guinea, though they would probably play havoc on the keets.
Even a dog would have to be pretty quick to catch any of the guineas I used
to have.
Never could get 'em to roost in the coop with the chickens - they preferred
the big persimmon tree at the edge of the barnlot.
