How would Ozzy and Joan react to Bandit?
Joan straight up looks like a Halloween decoration for a good thirty minutes after seeing Bandit.
Her first interaction with him, after some godawful mewling, is to bat the shit out of him when he comes over to investigate her. Eddie waves his hand at her to get her to back off and she bats at him too, with claws.
She does not bat at Steve when he picks her up and coos at her comfortingly, “I know, baby. I know.”
She sits outside of Bandit’s cage after Eddie puts him back inside of it and just watches the ferret. Once he’s no longer a threat, she is curious of him and they spend the rest of the day darting back and forth from one side of the cage to the other and sniffing at each other.
The next day when Eddie tries introducing her to Bandit again, she is much more friendly. She doesn’t react with violence at least. He still keeps an eye on the two of them when they’re playing but they do seem to get on just fine.
Ozzy reacts to Bandit pretty much the same way that he reacted to Joan.
The loud shouty one brought a small creature into the house and now Steve’s heart rate is up. Once Steve is calmed down enough that Ozzy doesn’t need to worry about him having a panic attack or a seizure, he investigates the ferret himself.
Bandit is actually more wary of Ozzy than he is of him, so Ozzy lays down and makes himself less of a threat. Bandit comes over to him and sniffs at him then runs away a few times before he climbs on Ozzy’s back.
Ozzy doesn’t mind being used as a jungle gym when he naps, but he doesn’t like Bandit nibbing on his ears and has no problem throwing the ferret off him. He also laid directly on top of Bandit when he wouldn’t leave Ozzy alone while he was trying to eat, but Eddie made him get off of him.
The only time Ozzy reacts aggressively towards Bandit was when Steve was about to have a seizure and he wouldn’t leave him alone. Even then, Ozzy just barked at him until he ran away.  
If Joan smacked Bandit on the head when he went to her, who’s to say it’s because of the seizure too.
