Not so sure its a Cat, looks more like an African Jackal.

Its Anubis.

Looks to be Egyptian to me.
Probably made in the 1970's . . . funny how there's no foundry mark though?

Anubis, is what I was trying to think of, thanks. Looks like an Artists rendition of Anubis

Noble, if it was me, I'd take it to a museum and have it looked at....the British Museum would be a good start, they have one of the finest Egyptian collections available outside of Cairo... the reason I say that is that it looks older than something that was just poured for the tourist trade....
