i have some spider plants my cat went to Town on when i got them all and i haven’t wanted to prune them until they had more growth- but should i just leave all the half eaten leaves? i care more abt my plant than them being pretty im just not sure if they mind the haircut.. the art and the artist below:)

I’d probably trim the ones that are actually bent and leave the rest. It’s totally up to you. It’ll definitely recover either way, it doesn’t look too bad!  
Also, spider plants are safe for cats in moderation, but they do have a psychedelic effect on them. So your little baby was probably having a nice little trip that day 😆

I had a spider plant lose ALL of its leaves but had good healthy roots in water and it grew back leaves, so you can probably remove anything that looks damaged and know that it will keep going and growing. Such great plants!
