I need you to understand that I care for you and your comfort is important to me. However, as a primate, it is hardwired into my massive fucking ape brain to track down and destroy any external parasites that I become aware of with unwavering focus and attention to detail. Where you are an ambush predator, I am a persistence hunter. Your flea medication does not appear to be working, so I am forced to remove them manually. This is my duty as a glorified monkey and as your friend, and it would benefit both of us if you would allow me to complete my mission without biting me.
These little guys tend to be aggressive because people treat them like toys. Pick ‘em up and hold them and carry them around as accessories, regardless of what they try to do. When an animal is held and carried and not put down when it wants to be, trapped in the air when it’s uneasy, you get a very stressed animal that thinks the only way it can be listened to at all is by biting and barking. The owner goes “oh isn’t that cute!” because the upset animal is small and making high-pitched noises, and the biting isn’t corrected, nor are the signals of “I’m afraid of this” listened to at all.
Bodily autonomy is important for animals too.
