Since v1.0.6 of the plugin, you can use Cloudinary’s images as featured images.
Setting an image as a featured image is done using WP standard media library interface, which now lists both local media items and cloud-based images uploaded, transformed and delivered by Cloudinary.
WP media items are automatically created for images inserted by Cloudinary to your posts (you need to save a draft of your post to see the newly uploaded images in the ‘Set featured image’ dialog).
If you upgrade to the latest release of the plugin (v1.0.8), uploading existing local images from WP media library now automatically creates cloud-based media items that you can use for selecting as featured images.
