i would at least replace the muffler, uknown if that's the reason but just to make sure, the insides of the cat had to go somewhere so for that matter i would replace both.

Go to stock by fixing the problem at the source - get the replacement/performance/universal cat. Mechanics, future owners, or you will have less headaches that way. My 2 cents.
This would be my recommendation as well.

I will then get an universal cat along with a new muffler.

What are the specs that the catalyc converter has to have?

Reason I ask is the old owner could have gutted the cat.

Plugged fuel filter,, engine goes lean and the cat melts...
And blows out the tail pipe in itty bitty pieces..

My YJ did it twice...
