The cat will only eat them if they get loose. Warning, chipmunks are super fast, like hairy rockets, so don't expect them to be little cuddle muppets and they need a large cage.

How adorable
Would the cats try to break into their cage though?
Depends on the cats. My 2 Maine coons would be permanently on patrol for the smallest opportunity. Chipmunks would probably die of fright.
Oh no really
Theyve only ever killed a tiny tiny mouse once before that we found outside in the garden
What should i do? Iv just been on the pets at home website and really want a chipmunk! but obvs i dont wana get one if its gona get eaten and i dont wana get one and worry that my cats are gona try and eat it!
Interesting link. I think the answer to the OP's question is in there, it says:
Cats on the other hand seem to be the worst kind of pet to expect to share a home with a chipmunk. There are plenty of sad stories of a chipmunk meeting its end from the family cat. Cats it seems cannot resist a tasty chipmunk, and given time the pet cat often gets the chipmunk in the end.

Not the cats! i mean for the chipmunks! would it be dangerous? is there a risk the chipmunk would get eaten by my cats?
