Timid cat

Hello, I'm new to this forum and hoping you can give me advice.
I got my first cat in 2007, purebred Ragdoll named Gus..awesome cat. I decided to get a 2nd one 2 years later to keep Gus company since my work schedule is pretty erratic. I decided this one would be rescued. So I picked Bella, a silver tabby. Bella was rescued at about 6 months and was pretty wild. Took a long time, but i have earned her trust and she is also an awesome cat who is best friends with Gus. The problem is she is so timid she will hide when company comes or if there is too much activity. She used to come out a bit after awhile, but now has returned to hiding and will only come out when people are sleeping. Her hiding place is in my bedroom and I feed and supply fresh water there when company comes. I also have started putting a litter box there.

I'm wondering if anyone has ideas to coax her out and possibly get her more accustomed to people. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Pat
