with raw fed cats, the stool softener is fat/skin. the reason grain is so unhealthy for cats is the work it creates for its digestive tract. it has to work much harder, and in some cases just not hard enough, to extract protein from plant sources. when our cats have pooping problems (which are rare) we just add a little extra chicken skin to their diet.

you could try adding a little chicken fat (start with 1/2 teaspoon) to see if that gets things going.
