There will be intense fear and distress, emotions which are in themselves painful to experience (e.g water boarding in human torture).

There is also the intensity of the moment and fear which masks pain. The bite itself will be painful subject to the effect of hormones mentioned above. However, many cat species including domestic cats kill large prey by suffocating them in using a throat bite.
During a death when they might be killed as the predator eats them, their hormones, endorphins and adrenalin, kick in and at least partly block the pain. Large animals like deer are sometimes killed slowly. However we don’t know is the short answer and it would not surprise me if they did.

They are still not on a completely raw diet.
Then I got some raw mixes and started transitioning little by little the raw food into the cooked wet food. At first over a few weeks I transitioned them to a wet homecooked diet. One of them(larger one) is pickier than the smaller one and the transition was seemingly impossible.
