Hi!
I’ve posted about my foster cat who displays aggression towards me, but can’t find an answer/solution.
I rescued a young cat off the streets, he’s a little over one. He lived with other cats but while on the street but when I rescued him he had ringworm and I had to isolate him for over two months before he was cleared by fungal culture. He displayed aggression towards me although he’s super friendly, it comes in the form of stalking, wrapping around my legs and arms and biting. I’ve thought he’s alone and even though I play with him several times a day I thought he needed an outlet. He plays footsies Under the door with my cat and about a month ago I tried slow introductions to the door each time both cats would smack each other but there were no growls or hisses. Twice I’ve let them get closer and I’ve had to break up a fight separate and start all over.
My question is if he’s not growling or hissing and he’s interested in under the door play is there a way to tell whether he will get along with other cats. Am I being to scared of letting them meet because he always jumps and wants to bite and fight my cat. If they could all be together I thought perhaps the aggression he shows towards me would decrease. A lot of people have shown interest in him but they have other cats and I am afraid of saying yes he will get along and they don’t. He lived on the streets with other cats but my thought was he was not neutered until February and he may have been dumped for playing aggressively. I’m really at a loss with him.

Try seeing how the cats react to him with something keeping them further away from him, so you know if he would bite them, etc
