I searched "mountain * sleeping cat" at google and found this:

http://www.pvv.org/~bct/backpack/utbak.html

"Coober Pedy is in the hottest part of Australia (...) There is also
one mountain which looks very much like a sleeping cat. The guide made
fun of the Aboriginals who calls it 'The sleeping cat' in their
language. Since there are no cats in Australia, that must mean that
they did not have a name for it, or maybe they did not even know of
its existence, before the Europeans came"

So, it seems to exist and may be at Coober Pedy, Australia (But I'm
not pretty sure yet)

If you go back to the original website where this image appeared -
http://www.worth1000.com/cache/contest/contestcache.asp?contest_id=752
 - you will see that it was entered in a contest, called Canvas Earth
2, which asked people to create images that "seem to resemble actual
things". Another entry was a lake shaped like a Teletubby. So the
short answer to your question is - no, it isn't real.
