The spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is not currently considered to be toxic to pets. However, it is important to keep in mind that even non-toxic plants may produce minor stomach upset if ingested. So, while you need not banish your spider plants from your home, it is still a good idea to discourage your cats from nibbling on them.
My cat likes to eat spider plants. I don’t see this on your list of poisonous plants, however. Can you confirm if it is toxic or not?

Certainly, Nancy. The spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is not currently considered to be toxic to pets. But as we always caution, even plants that are nontoxic may produce minor stomach upset if ingested. While you need not banish spider plants from your home, it’s still a good idea to discourage your cat from nibbling on them.
