The puma is a predator and the apex predator of the food chain so is a prey to nothing.
The puma is an apex predator. Nothing else kills and eats it (unless a human hunter decides to eat one he's shot). Other than human hunters, pumas are only eaten when they get sick, injured, or old and are then consumed by scavengers.
Pumas don't get eaten by anything, their dead bodies get eaten but not when their alive.
Yes, a puma is considered a second level consumer because it primarily feeds on animals such as small mammals like deer or raccoons, which are considered primary consumers in the food chain.

In most areas the puma would be a level 3 - a secondary consumer that eats herbivores. In other areas they are level 5 - apex predators. Bears, grizzly bears, wolf packs and jaguars are sometimes competitors that out-rank the puma.
