What kind of spider is this? Is it a jumper spider or a black widow? My cats found it.

Definitely a harmless Jumper. A Bold Jumper (Phidippus audax), most likely. I doubt she’s bold enough to cope with your cats, though 😉 .
I greatly appreciate your help on this. I tried to look it up on the web and couldn’t find the species. I had found similar species.
