    #1 looks like a Snake Plant to me
    #2 is most definitely a Rubber Tree Plant
    #3 I dont have a clue. Looks like a hardwood sapling
    #4 I have seen plenty of times around houses and offices, but dont have a clue of the name.

    Lillies and aloe are the pretty common poisonous plants. The first one looks like a Dieffenbachia and not a ficus, the Dieffenbachia are absolutely poisonous, get rid of it. That last one is hard to identify, but looks like a spider plant, or some sort of palm.

    3 looks like a maple sapling, and 2 is a rubber tree plant. Rubber trees are non-toxic, maple trees, in general, are toxic to everyone but in this case I think you're fine, but you may consider getting rid of it.

    Getting hanging pots is a good way to avoid the cat issue too.

    3: There's a back story to this one. We had a little pineapple plant growing in that pot. Eventually it died and this stuff grew with no intervention from anyone.

    The OP #3 looks like a grape vine to me.

    1 in the new set is some type of fern.

    3 looks like some type of mint, but the flowers are pretty hard to make out.
