I think it should have a little stud in it's ear.

Since 1905 Steiff has included it's famous "button" in the ears of it's animals. Finding this in your cat would confirm this.
If it was taken out by a previous owner, there would be a definite mark where it used to be, so have a good look!
If a button is found it can be further dated. Raised block lettering on a pewter like button would date it before 1932, Steiff logo in script on a chrome like button places it after 1932 and a Brass button throws it all the way to 1980 and beyond.

All toys made by Steiff have a nametag with a button pushed in the ear of the toy. If this has been removed, by a previous owner of the toy, then sorry, I cannot help you.
