"Cougar hunts squirrel and dies 4 hours later of blood loss."
While it should be Cougar (or any other predator) jumps prey, bites it's neck holds it down and kills it without getting hurt.
Predators should only risk injury if the prey is larger then themselves and hunt it alone.
Like a Wolf hunts (eg) a Bison, Bison kicks and crushes wolf's skull, leg, jaw or ribs and wolf dies.
But a pack of wolves against a Bison, Bison doesn't stand a chance.
The animals shouldn't fight like humans.
Once predators grab their prey it is mostly game over for them, with no chance of injuring the predator, certainly not when in a pack.
But yes there are of course dangerous prey animals like boars who can rip open predators with their tusks.
But small animals like squirrels, raccoons, ect being the cause of dead to a predator is very very unlikely.
