What indoor plants are safe for cats?

I have no plants in my house but am now feeling the need for some greenery. What can I get that isn't going to poison The King Of Us All?

Spider plants are safe. I can never get them to grow though.

If it's anything to do with the cats, probably because the little gits are attacking them when your back is turned.

Apparently, Spider Plants are another cat hallucinogen.

My sheep in a fluffy cat body is an absolute bastard for greenery when it's too cold for her to go out and mow the lawn every morning. The only things that appear to go unmolested are an avocado, a money tree and an orchid. Everything else has to be kept in a position where she can't get to them.

I'm currently growing a tray of cat grass for my furball to have a go at...then throw it up on the lounge rug. 🙄😂

I have a Boston fern that I believe is safe for cats and has never really attracted their attention. They're more interested in the spider plant, which has been nibbled a bit and knocked over a few times, but is nevertheless still going strong.

I keep finding pieces of spider plant on a morning that Dolly has heaved up. She eats them all the time and they are outdoors.

I have an enormous number of different houseplants and my cat has always been fine. I would avoid spider plants because out of all the plants , that's the one she wants to eat.
