Create Hiding Options for Kitty

If you have a skittish cat who spends most of her life under the bed, the problem may be that she doesn't have choices for hiding places. Being under the bed is safe because the cat remains hidden and has plenty of escape options if someone peeks under there in an attempt to extract her. Create other hiding place options by having beds in other parts of the house so kitty feels hidden. Place the beds in elevated areas. Being able to walk through a room while staying "invisible" is important to a scaredy cat. Slide sofas and chairs out from against the wall so the cat can walk behind them. Finally, don't attempt to hold her when she ventures from her hiding place. Let her feel that she has control.

Chilean Patagonia

With so many peaks, valleys, fjords, and glaciers, Chilean Patagonia is a paradise for climbers and hikers. Dozens of national parks are found around the region, most accessible from the main road, the Carretera Austral. Park trails and those in the government-run Ruta Patrimonial series (www.bienes.gob.cl/terra/rutas.htm) are well-marked and well-maintained; others are so remote that bushwhacking, river crossings, and orienteering through unmapped valleys are required.
