Raspberry Pest

Frick the cat is not always hanging around, but when he is home he is very, very clingy and wants attention all the time.
As I was trying to pick enough raspberries for breakfast with enough left over to freeze a cookie sheet full of the fruit, Frick kept getting in the way.
I would stop picking, pull him out of the bushes and set him down. Then I started setting him farther and farther from the bushes.
Before long, I was carrying the black cat out of the garden, across the driveway and to the other side of the woodshed. All the while he would snuggle in my arms, purring away and rubbing his chin on me. He would stay a little while, then come right back to once again climb into the bushes to appear where I was trying to harvest.
I finally had to give up picking and go into the house in order for the cat to finally leave me and my raspberry bushes alone..
