Depends on what type of catfish and ray, and also on the individual fish. Some get along, some don't.
Most importantly, size bought, size of adult, and growth rate will be factors.
General rule is to make sure the fish can't fit in the other fish's mouth of course. Starting with a baby catfish and baby ray, the catfish might outgrow the ray but if not a faster growing, it is probably okay.
Ideal? Probably not. But it can work very well if the right conditions are met.
