I’m new to cats but a huge animal person, I grew up with dogs and started fostering a few months ago to see how a cat would fit into my life. I first fostered two kittens and loved them even though they were chaotic and had some medical issues. Now I’ve had this cat for about two weeks. He was found abandoned and they think he’s around two or younger.

He’s extremely cuddly, sleeps in my bed, rubs his face on mine, and is overall pretty chill compared to the kittens but still likes to play. The rescue said I can adopt him and I honestly already feel like he’s my cat, but I have a couple concerns.

They mentioned he might do well with another cat because he’s very social and people loving. They also asked if I’d be open to continuing to foster and bringing in another cat, potentially in the next week or so. I’m not ready to adopt two cats right now, so I’m wondering if having another cat around is actually important for him or if he can be happy as a solo cat if I’m around a decent amount.

Also sometimes when we’re cuddling he will randomly bite me. It doesn’t feel aggressive and today was the first time it broke skin, but it definitely surprised me. I’m trying to watch for signs that he’s overstimulated but I’m not always catching anything beforehand.

For people with more cat experience, is this kind of biting normal for a newly settled cat and something that improves? Or is it something I should be worried about before deciding to adopt?

I really love him and just want to make the right decision.
