Even if we go off the weight of the foot armor, seeing as each foot has armor weighing 5% of what torso armor does, armor that weighs 40 lb on the torso would add 2 lbs, which would just barely be Parryable by the cat combined with the 1 lb of the foot - that's DR 5 Heavy Scale (40 lb), DR 6 Proofed Paper (45 lb) or DR 11 Plate (40 lb).
So, yeah, the cat can almost certainly Parry an armored foot, at least by the RAW. It's no less ridiculous than the cat being able to Parry the sword, honestly.

So, should the knight use a maul, or a spear to attack a cat ? I'm not sure that would make more sense...
