Wordpress category doesn't have a "cat image" built-in.

You will have to add this yourself via changing the core-code or maybe use the description field as a fake string holder for your image path

<img src="<?php echo category_description( $category_id ); ?>" />

You might have misunderstood what feed_image means

http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

feed_image---
(string) Set a URI for an image (usually an rss feed icon) to act as a link to each 
categories' rss-2 feed. This parameter overrides the feed parameter. There is no default
for this parameter.

The other solution is to use a plugin
