According to http://www.cat-world.com.au/cat-world-records the heaviest recorded (domesticated) cat in the world was Himmy at 1.3kg (46.8lbs). A 40.8 lbs cat is shown in this video: http://www.buzzhumor.com/videos/17620/Guiness_World_Record_For_Biggest_Cat .

As far as felines in general, http://pudang.tripod.com/physio.html mentions a Siberian Tiger by the name of Jaipur, weighing in at 932 lbs: "The largest tiger ever held in captivity, and the heaviest "big cat" on record, is a nine-year-old Siberian male named Jaipur, owned by animal trainer Joan Byron-Marasek of Clarksburg, NJ. This specimen measured 10 ft. II in. in total length and weighed 932 lbs. in October 1986 (Source: Guiness book of Records 1992)."

The biggest cat is a Liger. A Liger is a cross breed of a male Lion and a female Tiger and borrows positive characteristics from both the Lion & Tiger species and are only breed in captivity. The largest Liger weights 882 lbs and is recorded with the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest cat alive.
