The cougar totem is one where the individual is resolute with their time and attention. They can be demanding, thorny and angsty but prefer to be on good terms with everyone. The cougar will not pick a fight but normally will not hesitate to fight back if provoked. The most redeeming quality is that once they pursue something, they will not give up until its theirs. A way to tame the cat is to feed it well and give it space to roam where it wants to go.
