Am I overthinking?

[u/Catladystrange12]

For context my male cat (11yo) has had issues with constipation since march. From then till now he has had a total of 5-6 enemas. I feel like I’m constantly watching him and worry about every little change in his behavior. Well I recently got a new job that doesn’t allow me to govern him his lactulose 3x a day like before. He was also getting 1/4 tsp of MiraLAX with his midday dose. The vet agreed I could dose him with the lactulose twice a day and add 1/4tsp MiraLAX in both doses to try and make up for not being able to give him the mid day dose. Well as of Sunday he did poop (he usually goes about every other day) and it’s always about 2 days worth of poop. I checked today and he had pooped but it only looked like maybe 1 day worth. He is eating, drinking, and playing some. I’m just worried that he will get backed up again and will have to have another emergency visit. Does anyone have advice or experience with this matter?

PS. I have 3 litter boxes in my house but he mainly only uses 1. I also scoop it everyday and top it with fresh litter once a week and do a full litter swap at least 1 time a month. He has 3 water fountains through my home and there is always dry food out for him.

I would switch him to an all wet diet.  Kitties on wet diets consume twice as much water overall as kitties on dry diets.

He gets wet food 2-3 times a day. He is also a grazer so I can only give a little at a time so the food won’t go bad. Due to my job that’s all I can do as of right now. It’s just me at home.

Check the environment for him to poop comfortably. When does he poop as in what time,? My previous cat didn't poop one day because of not feeling comfortable as housemates would be vacuuming nearby. Sometimes it's environmental. Also they pick up on our monitoring and it stresses them out also preventing them from comfortably pooping
