Cast Iron Cat Sculpture Okimono Japan

Cast Iron Cat Sculpture - This cat was my dad's. He had a beautiful garden, and he filled his garden with sculptures of many kinds. If the sculpture was small like this cat, he would install a three or four foot wood post to elevate it above the plants. I admired this cat, and the way my dad presented it, and I still have and cherish the picture of it in my mind.
I found a matching cat on a Google Image Search. It was pictured in an old eBay listing. The listing said this: "Vtg Cast Iron Cat Sculpture Doorstop Okimono Japan Noguchi Style Mcm Brutalist."
I assume this information to be correct, (Mcm is eBay talk for mid-century modern)
I'll run this as a mystery for a few days and maybe someone will be so kind as to double check my info...
