Cats are very independent. They also take longer to adjust to situations than dogs. Your kitten will be fine, it'll just take some adjusting to. If you plan on getting another cat for his company try to do it when they are younger. They are very territorial. Even though you can introduce other animals as they get older, it's easiest when they're kittens.
I love my cats, I hope you enjoy your new furball! ;)

I say yes, have him a friend, at this stage he will be depressed, why I say this is because mine was because I worked all day and was gone somewhat on the weekends.
I now have two kittens that love each other and I don't have to worry if I leave for long periods of time.
They are best of friends, and when I get home I have lot's of cat attention.
Two are better.

Definitely depends on the cat, my cat hates all other cats (with rare exceptions) she's been like that since kitten age. I think some cats like others more if they are raised with other cats around them.

If you give your cat love it will be fine. Cats are idependent too so they can be alone and you don't have to worry.

It is a possibility that it may get depressed but it is a kitty so he may not get depressed.
