Kangaroos and Snow Leopards are known for their long jumps.

A roo can jump 12 metres (40 feet), with the average being 7-9 metres (25-30 feet), and up to a height of 3 metres (about 9 feet). The maximum jumping distance of a the largest kangaroo, a red kangaroo (in full flight), has been measured at 13.5 metres (about 45 feet).

A Snow leopard can jump up to 15 metres (50 feet) horizontally and 6.5 metres (20 feet) vertically, an action which it uses to ambush prey. However, the snow leopard cannot sustain these long jumps for great distances as kangaroos can.

Technically, a flea can jump the longest distance in proportion to its size. It has been calculated that if a flea were a human it could jump roughly 110 feet.

If you are considering pure distance, then the largest cat would probably have the highest vertical leap - like tigers. It also depends what the starting position might be.

If you are looking at the height of the leap in proportion to the cat's size, then Servals hold that crown.
