My bengal is a male, but an only child. He is very friendly with other animals - particularly dogs. He has always been very curious of all the cats that visit him through our glass porch doors and never arched his back once he realized that there were "other" cats in the world.

Bengals are a great breed. Just be prepared for a very active, talkative cat who is more interested in hooman attention than being outside. Oh, and be careful of leaving shiny new things around. They can be cleptomaniacs with shiny metal things. And if you leave blankets on the couch or other seating areas, be careful before you sit down because they will cover themselves up.

Doing a little "google" research on the breed will definitely be helpful.
