Scat is grieving and might find new kitties an intrusion if you adopt too soon.
My beloved, friends & companions Siamese Brother and Sister were 15 years old when the female died. Her brother seemed to know she was sick with kidney failure and kept sniffing her and trying to lick her. After she died he went into a very quiet time ...didn't look for her or call but seemed to need more attention from us. Formerly lively he would sit in a room by himself and sleep more. We waited about 7 months when I couldn't stand it anymore so began checking shelters and websites for apple-head Siamese kittens.
When we brought our kitten home our male cat just wouldn't have anything to do with her. We tried the "separate room thing" where you introduce the new cat into the household for well over a week and he wouldn't have anything to do with her. Wouldn't even look at her or try to sniff her.
And when we finally let her roam free he would hiss at her and go off by himself and sulk. Our new kitty picked this up and she "did her own thing" but they just never hit it off and that was really disappointing to us.
I don't know if this would matter to you but Scat and you might need more time to grieve or maybe Scat would be thrilled with two new kittens to take his mind off Mousie. Every cat is different...but, didn't want you to be disappointed if Mousie isn't accepting of a new addition. Right now that might be pretty upsetting to both of you who are still grieving. 
Anyway....big
