I'm away right now, but next week I can take another picture. And it is blue glass. :)

I've seen some little glass dogs similar to that and they were described as 1920s Cracker Jack prizes made in Czechoslovakia.

I looked up some pictures of those but they seem way too small. This one is about 4" tall.

HI, I think your cat is a door stop to hold a door open. I remember seeing one when I was a little kid. I have a good collection of cast iron dog door stops. No cat though. I have six or so others, one is a bouquet of flowers. RED M.

I forgot about this :) And really? I guess it might be able to keep a door open, I haven't tried that though haha.
And I really didn't think it was pontilled, I got another look at it and the cracking was mostly around the edges of the base from wear. There is just a smooth round pit in the middle.
I didn't really expect to find out what it was from, but figured I'd share it and maybe it belonged to some series of figures or something that someone might now.
