(Beaverton, OR) -- The Washington County Sheriff's Office is warning residents about three cougar sightings in Cedar Hills and Beaverton. The big cat was captured on home surveillance cameras. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is monitoring the reports. They issued a statement saying Oregon is cougar country and it's not uncommon for them to pass through urban areas. They say leash your pets and walk them during the day. If you do encounter a cougar don't run away. Raise your voice, make direct eye contact, pickup children, don't turn your back on the cougar. If attacked, fight back.
