Cats have fur. Cougars are among the big cats, and they use their fur to stay warm. Just like your pet cat, they will curl up and fluff their fur when they get chilly.

cougars don't hibernate in the winter. They somehow find a way to deal with the freezing cold winters in the temperate forest. Their thick coat can help them by staying very warm. In the winter, most animals hibernate so the cougars survive on mostly deer to eat since they are cold and week in the winter. That is the time that cougars get their feeding time. Most of the other animals that eat on deer hibernate, so the cougars (mountain lions ext.) get the deer all to them selves! To keep themselves ready to take down the deer or any sort of prey, the cougar will sharpen its claws on tiny trees to always be ready. Whenever something is wrong with the cougar, it will make a loud screech but any other animals will be sleeping, so they can't really hear the screams as much as the other cougars can. Cougars have a very good advantage in the winter and they really choose to use them in the best of ways in the cold winter!

I think they dig a hole and live there for winter with a large supply of food.

They survive the same they do in the summer. They grow a thick coat and feed on rabbits and mice

Cougar all the way!! Even 3 huskies on one cougar- still the cougar. The adult cougar far outweighs the individual adult husky, but three well-experienced large dogs may take the big cat down. Circumstances of the encounter will be determined by vigor- and the instinct to survive. The most likely outcome would be that the cougar escapes the canid attack, to avenge at a later time.
