Should I get another kitty?

2 more sounds good to me! I love kittens!

CCM, I think that you need 3 more to make it even!

I have three cats, and they seem fine with the odd number. But that may be because they consider me one of them!

Also how you introduce a new member to the community is important.

When you adopt, whether 1 or 2 kittens, try to have someone else bring them into the home. Then ignore the kittens (hard, I know) and lavish attention on the established cats. Tell them how great they are to agree to mentor the newcomers into being Cat People.

If you choose more cat oriented babes (weakly socialized ferals), they will be less likely to try to demand your attention and be a lesser threat to the adults. After they bond with the adults, the adults will bring them into bonding with you.

Aluromaniac has great wisdom in her words. I especially agree that if you add a young or energetic feline to the works, add two.

And I have a litter of foster kittens who will be ready to adopt in mid-Dec at 13 weeks of age. I also have two young cats (6 months old), sisters who started out life feral. They’re very strongly bonded to one another, play with one another a lot (pestering the other cats less), and are warming up to me nicely. If I had to choose two cats to go with, in order of preference, it would be the two sisters, or two of the siblings from the foster kitten litter.

If you decided to add one more cat, it would be best to go with an easygoing, laid back cat, which is more likely to be an adult than a kitten.

One other trick to introducing another cat is, right before the other cat gets brought into the house, rearrange the furniture. (It breaks up territorial boundaries a bit.) Believe it or not, this trick of rearranging the furnishings to change up territory also works in fish tanks or aquariums (by moving around rocks, wood, or plants).

If you do decide on one cat, you might want to consider getting the opposite sex. Seems like there is less competition that way.
