Depends on the cat(s) really.
My old kitty (RIP) was a third one in a house with two nominally feral adoptees and they did not welcome her.
When I moved and she was the sole cat she displayed stress and shredded two sofas and more.
Now we have two unrelated cats adopted together that don’t totally adore one another but are civil and they have NEVER scratched a single non-kitty item.
While they tend to keep to themselves I DO think they stimulate each other with occasional (thankfully gentle) paw bats and chases or just do solitary cat things. Like roommates.
So…depends - if you’re not home a lot kitty will need stimulation. Good luck!

Depends on the cat
My cats now would definitely get lonely without eachother
But I had an old cat who loved humans and absolutely despised other animals.

Or, like my old, late cat (RIP buddy 😞), they hate most humans and other animals. Once he warmed up to you, he would absolutely get lonely without his favorites around. Didn’t care if our dog was around or not, despite our dog being sad for awhile after he died.
