DUVALL, Wash. -- Three 6-week-old cougar kittens were found in a couple's backyard, and authorities have no idea how they ended up there.

The kittens were found Aug. 21 behind the home of Steve Schroeder and Sheilah MacDonald in this rural town. They took the little cougars to the animal welfare organization PAWS in Lynnwood the next day. There the kittens are being fed by wildlife specialists working to prevent them from imprinting on humans.

The kittens were weak, dehydrated and hungry when they were found, Fish and Wildlife Capt. Bill Hebner said.

The kittens are being fed formula and some meat four times daily, said Kip Parker, PAWS wildlife director. They weighed 3 pounds each when found and now weigh 5 pounds each.
