Just be careful that whatever fiber you give is just fiber. Look out for sweeteners and flavorings that may not be safe for cats. Walmart makes a capsule with finely ground pure psyllium husks that is easily broken open and a good daily dose.
I would also run blood/urine if constipation is an ongoing issue. Changes in the kidneys, liver ornthyroid or blood sugar issues can all create a tendency to dehydration that may create a tendency to constipation.
Personally I am not a fan of the "keep magnesium away from cats" trend. Magnesium deficiency will often manifest as constipation. Don't ask me how I know!
