First of all, welcome to the forum. Second of all, you've got quite a house full of people and animals and you are considering adding a dog and a bengal to the mix. Bless you! The bengal and dog should already be friends .. but they will be coming into your home which has new people, new smells, new environment. This can be challenging, especially when there are other cats in the mix. Not impossible, but challenging. The bengal is going to need some high places -- cat trees, shelving on the walls, etc. Each cat should have it's own territory! A male bengal is usually highly territorial. Add another litter box for good measure.

I'm not an expert on introducing adult cats to an adult cat and dog. You are going to have to allocate at least an area in your home where the new arrivals can be safe if things get crazy! I can hear the hissing and the back arching and the hair standing on end for all involved! I highly doubt your current kitties are going to welcome the bengal and dog with open arms, so you'll have to introduce them slowly and a little at a time. Throwing them in a room together and just observing what happens isn't going to work. They may all be terrified. So, a safe room for the new arrivals should be made available to them. I'm not in favor of crating dogs. You didn't say how big this dog was. If he's more the size of the cats, instead of a gentle giant, things may go better. I'd definitely try to introduce the bengal to one cat at a time. Same with the dog.

Brian is our resident advisor here. And hopefully, he will post his thoughts on how this can work. Just know this can take some time and a lot of patience and working with ALL the animals (and kids) involved. Good luck!

Brian, your responses are always so well thought out. I know you've helped a ton of people on here -- even me. I respect your opinions on things as well -- and you cook! LOL. Hopefully, other dog/cat owners can weight in and help this new member out.
