I had assumed at least Mail on Arms, Legs and Torso with 2 pt Leather on Hands and Feet. This is stll an assumption but it's what lead me to focus on the Face and Neck.
As for Move and Attack penalties the cat could just spend a FP. If it didn't want do that it could try and Pounce (Campaigns 372) on the Knight's Face and possibly captialize on the bit where even 0 damage face Attacks require a HT roll for Knockdown and Stunning.
The cat could also do something like climb the Knight's surcoat from the rear up to the neck region and then reach around for claw attacks to an unprotected Neck(Arteries) or Eyes.
If the Knight is in a 13th century outfit as I outlined above and a Greathelm he doesn't have to worry about cats. That's why specifications about exactly what kind of armor matter.
