As long as they are cat friendly this is ok, but he may be less than impressed! I strongly recommend transitioning him to a high fiber metabolic/weight management diet which would be expected to improve stool consistency and prevent this happening as well as reducing his weight. Obesity is linked to many health complications in cats including diabetes, fatty liver disease and inflammatory diseases
