There are a number of kibbles with grain, that have over 80% of the proteins coming from meat, and still have fiber to deal with these issues.
Cats would not eat pumpkin on the wild, but would eat some grass to get fiber.
Increasing the fat content I wouldn;t try, as you are already having an issue creating a good stool, and often times when you are having these issues, the intestinal tract will be irrated by increasing the fat content.
You can always check the fiber content on the food that you are choosing, and look up what type of fibers are in the food, and whether they are soluble/insoluble.
The easy way though is to do what you are currently doing, provided you ARE getting a firm stool, otherwise you may be dealing with other issues.
