I am reading the 2/16/19 edition of the Sacramento Bee. According to their report, the mountain lion was between 35 and 40 pounds, and 5-6 months old.
It was tested and had no rabies.
For reference, our male Airedale is 60 lbs and we had an Irish Terrier weighing 45 lbs.
To be fair, a 40 lbs cat is more deadly than a 40 lbs dog.

Airedales and Irish Terriers, and especially Wheaton Terriers are quite deadly in their own right. Real people haters.

Well that explains a lot It was about 1/3 the size and strength of an adult cougar. I certainly wouldn't want to mess with one even at that age, but it was basically a kitten, not an adolescent. The cat probably strayed away from it's mother and it's mother was probably some distance away hunting. It probably wasn't even fully off it's mothers milk. They aren't fully weaned until 4-6 months old. Kittens don't have much common sense. At that age they basically have no killing skills and don't know how to hunt. They rely on their mother for food until they are at least 1.5 years old. It now sounds like curiosity killed the cub. https://animals.mom.me/baby-cougars-6402.html
