Need Help Identifying Spider in Home

Long story short, while moving some things recently my girlfriend and I came across a large family of newborn spiders, moved them outside, but then a couple days later found these two in our kitchen under a chair:

We live in a rural area of Southern Maryland. I wouldn't call the place dangerous but there are dangerous animals here - we just came across a copperhead in our garage last week for example.

Our main concern is if the spiders pose any kind of threat to our cats.

Edit: The spiders are approximately a quarter inch to a half inch in length with legs extended. My girlfriend is describing their bodies as roughly the size of a grain of rice.
