Some cats will not drink still water. Try a small pet fountain to keep the water moving. Keeping Chase from bolting outside is a bit more difficult. It will require close supervision, especially when people enter or exit. Make sure doors latch shut and are secure. Check your property for anything that might be drawing her outdoors. If she seems stressed or anxious inside, try using a pheromone product such as Feliway spray or diffuser to enhance her calm.
