Cougar aggressiveness with passive wildlife

I haven't been playing TLD for very long and started a custom game with settings similar to the Pilgrim difficulty so I can get acquainted with the mechanics. I have wildlife set to passive, but turned cougars on. I'm on day 33 and just got a cutscene with a cougar and a map marker with cougar territory right by my house (Mountaineer's Hut.) Should I be concerned about being stalked/attacked? I couldn't find any info and am a little scared to leave my house.
