First 2 photos are the aftermath, 3rd one is what she looked like about a 2 ish weeks ago. Watered every wendsday, sat on my windowsill for sunlight. She's my first college houseplant, so im pretty attached and worried.

She’ll be fine. Spider plants are tough to kill but this isn’t bad at all.
Your plant and cat will be ok! Is kitty high? I remember when my girl got after my spider plant hahaha
Absolutely, spider plants are practically unkillable and very fast growers. You can leave the damaged leaves of snip them off. Don’t panic if the plant goes dormant or slows growing for the winter months, it’ll start growing faster as it warms up and sunlight hours get longer
Out of the 40+ plants I own my spider plant and my dragon palm he ever gone for. It’s as if he knew he was gonna trip. They are hallucinogenic for cats. But not dangerous. As far as the plant, I’d say just cut it back a little past where the cat chewed and give it some time. I’ve found that A) it’s a little unsightly, B) you can help the plant not waste energy on an ugly and damaged leaf, & C) the leaf will brown and harden a ways back (in my experience. Or leave it alone. It really won’t change much. Go put the cat in rehab.
Edit: just noticed the last picture where you did all that. You’re doing great.
My ex has a spider plant and her cat absolutely destroyed that thing and he came back so we named him Jesus. It’ll be fine
