DPNY, another good short-term solution for occasional constipation is pure pumpkin (not the type with spices in it for pie--it should say 100% pure pumpkin on the can). Start small--it usually doesn't take a lot--maybe a 1/2 to 1 tsp.
As for the mineral oil, your cat will probably be okay. Not every cat that gets mineral oil, aspirates it to cause problems. Just keep an eye on your old boy and see a vet if anything concerns you.
