thanks everyone for the advice.

i wouldn't say my girl is aggressive, rather its super defensive, most of the time she strikes me with a close mouth. I want to handle her more but if i do attempt to handle her longer she strangles my hand and tips on getting her to relax on the strangling would be much appreciated. Right now i keep the handling to a minimal, no longer than a few mins at a time before she realize she's is on my hand and starts to strangle me.

Any brand in particular you guys recommend? i would like one that has minimal gaps so its easy to clean?
