Texas bobcats run 25 to 35 pounds; I've read that the more northern bobcats are heavier--which ties in with my previous comments in another thread about size differences between northern and southern critters of a species.

Siberian? A NatGeo program on Siberia claimed that the big male bears there could regularly go as much as a ton. I'd therefore not be surprised that other examples would show larger sizes than here in the US.
