Are there breeds of dogs or cats that are less likely to produce allergy?

No. If you are allergic to cats, you'll more than likely be allergic to all varieties of cats. The same holds true for dogs. The allergen that produces the symptoms is shared amongst all breeds.

Why are cats more susceptible then dogs?

Definitive Guide to the Dog Food Recall
Cats generally have a greater percentage of their food in wet form so by rights they would be ingesting more melamine per kg of body weight then a dog.

Lastly, renal failure is more common in cats then dogs so there is a greater chance of underlying or undiagnosed kidney disease in a cat.

Can Bengals live with other cats, dogs, children, etc.?

Bengal cats | Bengal FAQ - Defiant Breeders
Very well, Bengals adapt quickly to all family members and their playful nature makes them excellent companions for children. Here is my son Declan (when he was 2 1/2) with a 10 week old male blue marble. Declan does what most children do, grabs, pulls, and squeezes. And our Bengals just deal with it.
