Yes, these cats were rescued by Fish and Wildlife. We have no idea what happened to the mother. Anybody commenting on the mother is just guessing. There has never been any report of a Mountain lion in this area that was killed or hit by a car. Since this video was filmed there was an update to the story. The three cats were cared for here in the local area of Preston Idaho. About two weeks ago they were placed in a wildlife preserve in North Carolina. The sad part of the story is that one of the Cubs had a bad reaction to the sedative and died. The other two are now in North Carolina alive and well. This has been a life changing experience for me. Not only the experience of the Cubs but meeting people who have seen the video and the conversations are so cool. Thanks to everyone who has commented and watched the video. God Bless

“Hey can your cat come out play with us”

Kitty heard a rumour about these two-legged creatures who have been tamed by cats..warm bed, food on demand, lots of cuddles...thought he’d give it a go.

Fascinating. You instantly see how young they are and how vulnerable without their mother. So glad they were rescued. It's sad one didn't make it, but that's a better outcome than being on their own in the winter might have given them.

Three cubs...where’s the mom? The mom: *sneaking in through the back while her cubs act as a distraction*

Its actually three house cats coming back home from the gym 💪

I like the one that just sits down and looks at the human like “We’re just vibing here. Don’t mind us.” What a polite visitor!

"I'm doing video if you guys would be quiet." They keep yacking.

200 years ago: "Shh. Don't move or they'll eat you!" Now: "Shh. Don't move or you'll scare them away!"

Turkeys are like 'act cool, don't run, appear confident'.

They are absolutely mesmerizing. I’m deeply sorry all three did not make it. Eternally grateful they were given a better chance at a normal, wonderful, in the wild life. Thank you for sharing and the update.

“I’m doin a video if you’d be quiet” *threatening laugh*

They're like "Hey let us in we're just housecats"

Guy: look how thin they are, they must be hungry. Birds in the back: must become rock

It looks like someone has been feeding them from their doorstep. They seem to be waiting for a handout

Mountain Lions: “uhm, meow?”

"Nice Ron" "I Sneezed! Oh, I'm not allowed to sneeze?"

All the ferocity of nature…but still curious as a house cat. I love mountain lions

Id be the worst person in this situation because I'd let them inside and feed em, because they didn't have their mother and they looked thin. I couldn't bare just letting them stay out. Glad at least they were rescued, and 2 at least survived.

All felines have one huge thing in common, and thats curiosity.

They act like they've done this before, but have been let in.

"that's a baby" - me to literally every cat I see.

"Do you have a moment to hear about our lord and savior Tony the tiger?"

My brain: "Pet it." Me: "But it'll kill me" My brain: "I know, but pet it-" Me: "YES" Everyone else: "NO-"

Such beautiful animals

I know they are very dangerous, but they are very beautiful animals! I can’t help but be in awe! 😊

They look like they are struggling with getting enough food. Hip bones showing. So happy they were rescued. So cool to see them up close.

"khajiit has wares if you have coin"

I had a very similar situation last year when 3 older women showed up at my door in the middle of winter.

HELLO, thank you for rescuing these mother less Baby's". This is really unbelievable beautiful to watch this kind of Video.❤❤❤❤❤❤ Many Greetings from Germany

Can't believe they came right up to your front door! How amazing! They look like they were very young. Which is a good thing! Thanks so much for sharing. Lynn and Danny

It amazes me that 4 wild turkeys are standing at the top of the driveway, & the cats don't pay any attention to them.

"Three Mountain lions walk up to our front door." this sound like one of those bartender jokes :D

AWE! Scary and yet a moment these folks won't ever forget! Brave young MTN Lions! I wonder if they were seeking out help! Glad they were taken in/rescued by the Fish and Wildlife! So heartbreaking about their Momma! So beautiful!

Amazing. I wonder if the mother ever came for them. Thanks for sharing. ☃️🎄⛄️ have a wonderful bless Christmas.

They weren't even considered juveniles yet, still have some spots. Poor babies obviously lost their mama! Glad to hear they were rescued.

"I heard you guys have pizza delivered from time to time, can we grab a bite or maybe a bite of the delivery man?" 😂

We have had a pair of cubs that look much like these picked up on our night camera lately. We live in Arnold, CA in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at 4000 ft. Thank you for posting and telling us their story.

We'll have to make them feel right at home 👍there beautiful 💕💕🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

I really hope their mother is still alive, really sad to see all three alone like that.

The most amazing part about this video is the guy who is incapable of whispering

They are such beautiful cats

The cats are really beautiful. Good to know they are being looked after. Sad about the one cat that didn't make it. Thank you for this interesting video.

The urge to feed them must have been incredible. Beautiful animals

They are like..."Hey, mom took off and we are hungry. Can you help us out?"

Cubs became brave because they have been hungry. Otherwise they are mot interested in humans. Poor babies. They are soooo pretty

🌅 ବଢ଼ିଆ ମଜା ମାନେ ଶ‌ଇ ଟୁବୁଗୀ କାଡ଼ିନି 🌹

They're basically like: So, someone told us that if we found humans they'd give us food? Feed us?

The dude talking is the type of person that talks during a movie in a Theatre.

They're just trick or treaters with really good costumes.

Thank you for helping them that's obviously why they came up to the house they were starving and scared.. bless you for helping

Third one walks up like "Whatya all waiting for? Let's ring the bell and see if they'll give us some lunch." Poor babies. Glad that 2 of them made it to NC safely, and really sad the third one died.

Somebody around there must be feeding them, for them to get that close.

What a treat to see this, I felt like I was there, that's made today better, thanks. It was brill seeing that.

Look at them they are just cute beautiful cats ☺️

Why do I have the urge to hug them?

Youngsters showing naivety and being curious, what a special moment that must have been, seeing them up close and personal. They are truly beautiful creatures, you are very lucky indeed.

Thanks for sharing the video as well as updates on their status. It sticks hearing of the one that didn’t make it, but at least the others are doing well.

Thank you for the video. It was amazing. Shame one of them didn't make it. All the best from Scotland

"open up, we know you have food in there, humans"

My brain: It's a dangerous predator! If you let it, you die! Me: heehoo kitten

Spectacular Cats! Thank you for sharing.

These are beautiful young pumas, they still have the spots of the cub. Thanks for sharing the video and the story, 2 out if 3 is better than nothing, anyway.

I'm surprised they didn't try to go for the turkeys up the road.

The mountain lions are like “let’s go to the zoo, see there is Bob recording us, to the left you have Devorah cooking some steak, then you have little Jimmy playing with his legos”. “Momma told us to run away if they ever leave their cage”.

They were defiantly in need of a meal. Poor things. Im glad they were rescued. I live in NC and wonder if they were sent to Grandfather mountain. That would be great.

Mountain lions: Trick or treat !

what beautiful creatures

I think they were too young to be afraid of much. I had actually walked outside to see where they went at one point, walked around a corner and almost ran right into them. They just stood there so I walked backwards back into my home. They were very young and still in the exploration phase of being a cub or kitten.

1:47 The way they meow, It's like "plz let us in, we need food and a warm place to stay."

The last walking cub looks so much like "Messi the puma" when he was a cub. Believe it or not, they are smarter than we think and all they want is water and something to eat to survive and some milk.

How beautiful they are, I cant! These "fat" paws. aaaaaaaa

wow. they were actin like regular house cats. they went right up to your door and asked for help. what an intelligent and beautiful lifeform. great video thank you for sharing.

What pretty little kitty cats.

Glad they were rescued...sweet babies

damn...tired and hungry. Poor things.

it is the animals land too. we need to protect them

Something about these cubs look more adorable than menacing than a full-grown adult cougar. So adorable and what an experience to cherish forever. Thanks for the update in the comment thread as well!

Wow - that was amazing. Knew they lost mom on the first few seconds.

"I'm doing video if you guys would be quiet" ..LOL ..thank you! That old guy's voice is loud AF

lol those turkeys at the end of the driveway are trying not to be noticed :P

Nice. In 1999 opened my front door to a huge Cougar sat on my porch in front of me when I lived near Seattle. I had never seen one before so I asked my wife to grab the camera as we stood opposite looking at each other (I was thinking 'Your so cute', it was probably thinking 'Dinner'. When she returned and seen it, she freak out and slammed the door shut scaring it away.

They're cubs - It'd be hard to resist letting them in and feeding them.

Three Mountain lions walk up to a front door. The home owner: What is this a joke?

That one guy totally lacking self-control just couldn't keep from yammering, could he?!

Awesome...Priceless sightings..best wishes from Africa

Lucky people who can watch these beautiful animals close up!! How I envy you!! I'm British and would love to live in a country where these beautiful animals come close to your home!!

Awww.... They are absolutely adorable... I love watching Gods beautiful creatures!!

Wow, a once in a lifetime experience. Totally Cool.

"Get us out of this cold damn it!"

those are your children now, i don't make the rules

"Their not afraid at all"… They are cubs & dont know any better, YET!! Open that door & they wouldve hauled ass...Glad they were rescued...

Omg! So cute!! He’s like hey strange creatures have you seen my mom by chance?

Gorgeous Babies♥️

These mountain lions are only cubs, and to me they look at least 3 months old. They are too young to be away from their mother. But, I appreciate what these kind people did for these cubs, getting them to somewhere where they can get better, play and grow. It is sad that one died, but at least the others survived. And living in a sanctuary will be a great experience for them. Please leave a like if you agree.

"C'mon Dad....we are definitely keeping these kitties."

I'm glad that the cubs were rescued.

So cute. They remind me of my cat Sebby. Thanks for sharing this.
