My cat loves to chew on things, real and artificial plants included, so I have been afraid to have any in my home. We recently did some renovations at the house and I really wanted plants. The Rooted website was fabulous in helping me find a plant that wouldn't hurt Shadow if he chewed on it. Their suggestions for keeping cats away from plants included having cat grass for them, hoping that they'd leave yours alone. Fantastic experience.

Nephrolepis exaltata bostoniensis
According to NASA, this fern is an A-list air purifier. You've probably seen it around the office or out at the mall. It's more tolerant and less picky about environment than most ferns, and can even tolerate a short dry period.
Medium to bright indirect light.
LG: 2' tall and a 8" pot.
Pro-tip: Ferns love to be watered. To avoid root rot, plant in a clay pot with a drainage hole.

Beautiful plant
The plant arrived well packed and opened up beautifully when released from its box. It is doing well and I expect it will last a long time and grow well as it looks very healthy and full.
