I currently own a 2 year old Manx calico. Currently I am still living with my parents, but I'm planing on moving out within a yr. When I move out I am considering getting another cat. I'm really interested in getting a Bengal to keep my Manx company.
Obviously every cat has their own personality, but I have read that both Manx cats and Bengals get along well with other animals.
We have outside cats and my manx has never been bothered by them, nor has she ever been bothered by the smell of other cats on me (from my job), but she's pretty scared of dogs.
Does anybody have any experience with either breed and tell me if the two would make a good combo.

I think a Bengal might be too energetic for your female Manx.  Here is once of my favorite videos of Bengals playing with DaBird toy.  You can find others.  Only you know your own cat, but Bengals are really high energy and like to play and climb and wrestle.


Here is another video, 1o things you should know before getting a Bengal cat:

I actually have a DaBird for my manx. She likes to play in a similar manner to that as well. Although she doesn't normally growl and I can get the bird out of her mouth pretty easily if she catches it, she loves to run from room to room and jump for it.
But thank you I appericate the insight. I'm defiantly still thinking about it for that very reason, I don't want to overwhelm my Manx.

I wouldn't recommend getting a small kitten to go with your cat.  She'll be three, and not interested in a high energy kitten.  If you can find an adult bengal to adopt, that could work.  I would definitely recommend getting to know the cat's personality first though.
