Are two Bengals better than one?
That depends on what you want.
Do you want all of your cat's attention and devotion? If so, I would advise you to stick with one Bengal.
If you don't mind sharing your Bengal's devotion? I would advise you to get a second Bengal. Sometimes it's nice not to be their sole source of attention. Especially if you work outside of the home, your baby will have some company while you're gone.
