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

* I asked this in the cat section and not one reply. I know the dog section is more popular and people in this section tend to also be knowledgeable in cats, so I figured I'd try here next.

I have had my cat on purina for awhile now and he has been having issues with the consistency of his stool. It isn't diarrhea, it's pudding-ish. He goes daily and his poop just isn't well formed, it's just like a plop. He is healthy, no signs of dehydration or watery stool or changes in activity/eating habits. He just needs a change in his food to help form his stool better. So today I switched him to blue buffalo "mature" cat food (dry). It doesn't have fillers, by products and it has omega 3 and 6 which I read is supposed to help with irritable bowel. Do you think this food will help? Or is there another food or remedy you recommend to bulk up his stool?

    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.

    Have the vet check his stool for worms, especially if he passes mucous. The buffalo should help - cats eat meat not grains or veg!
