What can I give my senior obese cat for hard stools and constipation?

Question

Hello, My 10 year old, obese cat who has struggled with urinary issues before we adopted him has been recently struggling with hard stools. His temperament and daily routines have not changed. He is on a wet food diet - per our vets request. He has received his check ups and nothing has changed internally. I am wondering if you have any advice on lubricating him within to make to easier on him? I have riddled the house with fresh water bowls. Any advice you have I would appreciate, Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 9 years and 3 months old | 18 lbs

You can feed him some Miralax powder (1/4 teaspoon once or twice a day) mixed in a bit of his canned food. I think this will help. It might take a couple days to kick in though. https://www.walmart.com/ip/MiraLAX-Laxative-Powder-for-Gentle-Constipation-Relief-7-Doses/10419774
