This glass cat paperweight by Austrian maker Riedel Glass is 4" high x 3" wide x 2.5" deep and weighs 12.5 ounces. Back is smooth, the rest is textured, including the base. It has a vaguely brown color when viewed from certain angles and looks clear from other angles. It is not marked but originally had a label.

Thanks BHIFOS, Kevin, Cisum and WhenIsraelbeleves!
Hi, I believe the style, size and type of glass is much of a possibility from Sweden, they had much clear crystal 'ice glass', this looked like ice cubes with designers who focused on figurines during 1970s and forward.
Compared to other countries, the art glass piece sizes were consistently small, except some huge floor size glass vases.
Here is one by Eric Hoglund on Ebay

Thanks, Lisa! Hopefully, I will be able to find a labeled example.... So far, I have not been able to find another like it. It might be in a book of glass animals. I have a couple but haven't checked them, yet.
Thanks vcal, fortapache and PhilDMorris!
Thanks Jenni!
Thanks blunderbuss2 and dav2no1! Still no joy in identifying the maker.
Here is the exact one on EBAY. Same pics.

Thanks, Celine. That is the one I bought. Using seller's images until it arrives and I can reshoot it against a black background. Trying to identify the maker in the meantime.
Thanks Blammoammo, Alfie21 and sherrilou!
Updated images. There is a bit of wear to the back and to the base so it has been used. I post images to Glassmessages.com and no joy, apparently not a common cat.
Still no joy on this! Nothing helpfully glassmessages....
similar Riedel with labels; not enough images to compare:
