Do you mind?

After a long afternoon of helping Mr M and me around the garden, Sooty was having 40 winks on his dad's jumper, a perfect opportunity for me to take some snaps. This is usually impossible, as when awake he always comes over to greet me and the camera. Careful to keep my distance using the telephoto this time so as not to disturb him, I got quite a few good ones before the click-clicking entered his consciousness.

I think he has made his meaning quite clear.
