A single act of carelessness leads to the eternal loss of beauty

I have a 10-year-old cat whose buddy recently passed away. Next Tuesday, we're going to pick up a friend for him from the shelter who is considerably younger (4 months old).

Once they get over the introductory period and are eating communally, how do I handle feeding? Assuming separating them for feeding time until the kitten is on adult food is not feasible, am I better off feeding kitten food to both or adult food to both? Is kitten-specific food even a necessity?

I need some advice. Our kitty is over weight and we have been struggling with it for a year now. She gets exercise and we measure her portions but she is staying steady at 11.5 pounds. Her vet recommended looking for food with fewer calories right now she is on Blue Buffalo Indoor Health dry food. We have done the BB weight control but the effects were minimal. She has been on BB since she was a kitten and I don't know what other brands to try.

So what is a dry food of comparable quality with BB, but fewer calories? Google just tossed up a bunch of brands comparing how awesome they are compared to others, but I didn't find much raw data.

Have you tried Blue Buffalo Longevity (or is that the weight control you referred to)?
