There was a cat, two dogs, and a guinea pig. How come the guinea pig so obediently just sat there?

A blog about New York City, my books, and my cats. Mostly.

How come the cat wasn’t looking at the guinea pig like a tasty treat?

Just curious. Was the guy a street performer or just giving his pets a breath of air?
I think this is just a way of getting money.
