My cat has soft stool. How can I make their poop more solid?

Question

Cat with "soft" stool, what can I do to make it more solid? 3 cats in house, all eat same diet, only one has soft (but not watery and no blood or mucus) stools all the time. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 12 lbs

If Simba is having no other symptoms other than soft stool you may want to consider adding fiber to his diet. There are some commercial diets that have increased fiber content (senior diets are typically higher in fiber). Another option would be to simply add a tablespoon of fiber powder (like Metamucil) to his food once a day. If this does not help then you may want to consider bringing a stool sample to your vet to be checked to ensure nothing else is going on. I hope this helps.
