I couldn't find a good answer, so I assumed it was a cat from Indian jungles due to similar designs in other pieces and existing trade networks with the Indus Valley at the time of the Old Asyrian period. It's a modern statue, so the cat could be whatever 🤷‍♀️

It's most likely a lion based on Akkadian reliefs and statues of Lamassu
