When I refer to a woman as a Puma I am referring to a specific person that has my back. Sleek and cunning like a cat strong but sexy. A prideful person who has been in my shoes won't ever look down on me and always want to help and protect me if possible. The kind of woman you can trust with your life your palace your anything and they gaurs like there own without trying to become you because they are the person standing beside you like a sister in battle a true friend and without them you would not be able to be the person you are. The sisterhood of all. Please quit referring to a Puma as a cougar that is younger how disappointing because I know when I say that this person is my Puma it means they ride or die with me no ifs ands or buts. Love ya Puma.

Oh and it also is the name of a great man.

Win win either way.

I nicknamed her Puma because she is exactly like an elegant cat that will not be messed with and doesn't waste her time with those who squander their life.

A female who is in her 50s-70s who prowls after younger men (usually half their age or less), Pumas are similar to Cougars except they have progressed to the to a stage just beyond their prime (30-50) Puma's with grandchildren are often referred to as a GILF if she happens to be hot as f*ck!

Puma is derived from the concept that cougars are a 'subspecies' of the Puma subspecies in cats... so just one step below it.
