Below is a list of common houseplants that are acceptable for your cat to munch on.  Note that there are conflicting reports about the aloe vera plant - because I received an email about a cat that died after ingesting it, I am not putting it on this "approved" list.
Note that if you want to provide a plant that your cat can eat (so hopefully he will leave your plants alone), you can purchase small containers of oat grass.

African violet (Saintpaulia) 
Aluminum plant 
Any of the true ferns (Boston fern, maidenhair, etc.) 
Cacti (but make sure they are real cacti, not just a succulent) 
Catnip 
Coleus 
Common geranium (Pelargonium) 
Gloxinia (Sinningia) 
Goldfish plant (Hypoestes) 
Grape ivy (Cissus) 
Hanging African Violet (Episcia) 
Lipstick vine (Aeschynanthus) 
Miniature roses 
Pepperomia 
Prayer plant (Maranta) 
Shrimp plant (Beleperone guttata) 
Spider plant (Chlorophytum) 
Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus) 
Sweet potatoes (Ipomoea) 
Variegated philodendron 
Wandering jew (Zebrina) 
Wax begonias (Begonia semperflorens)
