Description
It's in our nature to fear you
Even when you pose no threat
It's our basic instinct to imagine the worst
Please forgive our behavior from the other side
You seem harmless right now, walking with your head down
But we can't trust you further than we see you
Just as it is in our nature to fear you
It is your basic instinct to harm us

Poor kitties... They look so thin. Did you take this just by waiting for an interesting situation to present itself, or was it set up?

Very nice job. I love how the focus is on the subject. The caption sounds like exactly what they would be thinking. I saw the other day a cat and a pet alligator together, the gator was minding it's own business but the cat did not take it eyes off it for a second.
Like you said it is just it nature to imagine the worst, It has worked pretty well for this long.
Maybe that is why people love cats they are less trusting but when you do gain their tolerance, they can be great domestic masters. You never really own a pet cat, that is probably the basic instinct kicking in again.
Great shot, you caught both of them doing it.

wonderful shot! the way i interpreted what it says is that, while it appears that the cats are talking about the dog, it could very well be the man they are really afraid of. great work!

I can apply this to real life situations going on An irrational or maybe rational fear based on what's taught to be threatening, or in some cases, instinct.
"You seem harmless right now, walking with your head down. But we can't trust you further..." That's a scary thought.
I loved this.

While looking at this in small view, I thought the cats were chihuahuas XD. Really good. Although...cats and dogs can get along.
