Pothos!! Mine are super low maintenance, and I have a few in different lighting situations, all doing fantastic

Pothos aren’t cat friendly BUT calatheas, money trees, fittonia, cast iron plant, spider plant, birds nest ferns, pilea/peperomias are all cat friendly. All low to medium light plants.

Peperomia. They’re non-toxic, low maintenance, and do well in north and east/west windows. They have a lot of beautiful varieties to choose from. I have a few, but highly suggest regular and variegated Peperomia Obtusifolia. As a pet owner, I highly suggest placing it in a windowsill or table that your cat doesn’t climb onto. Peperomia do well is lower light conditions and do best in part-sun, part shade (like a lower light windowsill), so you can place it no farther than 1ft from a window in a higher spot your cat is less likely to reach. Hope this helps.

I recently repotted her cause she has so much growth. Became a very fast favorite. I bought her about 2 months ago and she was packed with lots of little leaves starting to grow in the middle. I water her every 9 days, bottom water her to reduce the risk of pests, and she hasn’t given me any trouble whatsoever.

I’m also new to planting but grew up with a money tree (Jade plant), super low maintenance! And recently got a spider plant in our bathroom, also super low maintenance and looks great in the room!
