I am not a programmer, I just barely wrote one bash script in the past. But I'd say more comments are better than too few.

When I later wanted to edit it, I got completely lost. I wrote it with absolutely no comments.

While this is true, an alternative is to name your variables and functions descriptively so that when you see number_of_cats you know that variable is the number of cats, and buyAnotherCat() is a function that increases the number of cats.
