Cat food that can help bulk up/harden cat's poop?

If you switched from one food to another in one day you can expect some major digestive upsets. It is important to make any changes in a cat's diet very slowly.

He is not digesting the fillers in his food properly. Although Blue Buffalo is a much better choice than Purina, any dry food will probably cause issues for him. Give him time to adjust to the new food (at least 2 weeks, preferably a month) then start SLOWLY introducing a high quality canned food to his diet (about a teaspoon several times a day then work your way up). Dry food is packed with carbs that cats do not process well. They need mostly meat protein. That's what they are designed to process.

Don't let the "grain free" hype fool you. Veggies & fruits are still carbs that cats don't need. Taste Of The Wild, Wilderness, Evo, Instinct & Merric BG are all good, super high protein foods.

Have you had him checked for irritable bowel or other digestive issues? There are a number of things that can cause these digestive issues, and if it is an infection and is left untreated it can have life long consequences.

I have an 8 year old kitty girl i adopted from my local shelter who has irritable bowel. The Vet had me feeding her home made food for a while - half cooked rice, half cooked ground pork. This was working very well for us, until the day kitty decided she wouldnt eat it anymore lol. The rice adds a lot of fibre. I asked the vet about this specifically because i would think the carbs were too high but he reassured me. Now that she has decided she doesnt like mom's home cooking anymore I have found that she does great with Select Gold Digestive (thats a brand here in germany, dont know if its global or not).

After you switch the food, expect there to be up to a week of transition. Dont make the mistake i did at first changing foods too often to try to find something.

Now all that said, the food helps, but my girl gets 1/4 tab of some sort of steroid every other day and THAT makes as much difference as the food - as i have found once or twice when she managed to spit her pill out once in a while.

Talk to your vet about this issue, make sure to take him a stool sample so that your baby cn be checked for parasites, infection, etc. It is better safe than sorry if this has been going on a while.

Good luck!

Feed your cat a meat based diet. There not much more expensive than a high quality wet cat food. About 1.50 a day. It's far better for you cat than other foods. It will be cheaper in the long run too because your cat will have far fewer health problems. A meat based diet will help his stools too. They will be much smaller and not smell as bad. Cats are built to eat meat. Not dry nuggets.

Have you had a Licensed Veterinarian look at your cat? Is it cow manure size or what? Rice, Ground turkey meat, and bananas might help your cat out in obtaining better stool. But I am worried also with the word plop you mentioned? Whip worms? I know dogs and humans can have this type of worm put into their system within 11 weeks, but I am not sure about cats.
