Of course! A protagonist -the lead / main character in a literary piece - doesn't even have to be alive! Think of The Big Chill: the protagonist has killed himself before the movie begins! Or you could make it an object, although this is a bit harder as the person with the object might be looked upon as the protagonist. However, if you have something like Pandora's Box, which no honest person would want due to fear of curiosity overwhelming him/her, you might be able to make it work.

One more thing: if you do make your protagonist a non-human animal, it might change the genre of your book. Still, it is better to write a good story then worry about the genre (unless you're a ghost writer), right?
