If your vet really did tell you to give her metamucil, he/she should have told you an exact dose to give it and given you a dropper (like an eye dropper) which you fill with meds and squeeze into the side of the cat's mouth. But be SURE of what to give the cat and be sure to get the exact amount so that you don't do harm to your kitty. The dropper from the vet's office has little lines on the side so you can give the exact cc's that the vet tells you.

You should be able to put it in the water, although if your cat doesn't drink much water I don't know what the effectiveness of that would be. You figure their bodies are much smaller than ours, so even a small dose may have an effect.
Can you mix wet and dry food and mix the metamucil in with that? Or even just take the juice from wet food and put that on a dish with the fiber powder? Perhaps tuna juice mixed with metamucil?
My cat won't eat wet food either so I don't know of any other solutions. Good luck though!
