New World record territory for a domestic cat...
According to [link|http://www.catscans.com/facts.htm|this] the record for a domestic cat is a little less than 47 pounds.

According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the heaviest cat on record was Himmy, an Australian cat, who weighed 46 pounds, 15.25 ounces in 1986. Himmy's waist was 33 inches! The previous record-holder had been Spice, a ginger-and-white tom cat from Connecticut, who weighed 43 pounds when he died in 1977.

A mountain lion/puma weighs up to 200 pounds according to some WWW pages out there...

Cheers,
Scott.

New I was estimating
the cat may have been under 50 pounds, but it sure was heavy. The thing about cats is that when they don't want to be picked up, they can seem to be heavier than they really are. But one thing that I know for sure, those cats were really heavy, heavier than any other domestic cat I've picked up before.
