The knight can afford to AoA and should for Determined since any successful grab will be fight ending.

Re: [Martial Arts] Hyperskill pets vs moderate-skill warriors
Kicking the cat with a Defensive Attack seems like a possibility. It can't parry an armoured human leg, and has to dodge, and there's +2 to the DX roll to avoid falling.

A House Cat has Move 10, SM-3, Stealth-14 and Night Vision 5.
Maybe it could capitalize on it by making repeated move and attack ambushes in the dark? |

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.

Take a comb, run thumbnail over teeth, cat starts to retch, kick it in the stomach with spiked knights boot.
P.S.: I like cats, btw. But I'm sure a knight has a comb. |

My IRL Cat can open a bread box no problem so we no longer keep bread in there. Sliding doors are no issue as well. (He is a medium-sized cat.)

You might consider a Flying Attack or Acrobatic Attack (both p.MA107) For style you might like the Great Lunge (MA131)

Re: [Martial Arts] Hyperskill pets vs moderate-skill warriors
The combat rules mostly assume two-legged characters of roughly the same size, which means they're not always very applicable to scenarios like this. For instance, a cat can't really Sweep to knock the knight down, but equally I'm not sure there's any manoeuvre that covers "Rush wildly back and forth between the knight's feet" :-D
