The neighbourhood cats didn't dare chase them because the guinea pigs would gang up on them.

Apparently you would see a cat chase a guinea pig past the livingroom window, then a few seconds later the cat would run passed again followed by it's intended victim and the rest of the clan.The cats learned to leave them alone, except one which grew up next door. She was adopted by them and they used to play "tag-you're-it"
