I've fed all three of my cats just about everything on the market... and while they subsisted on things like Purina Cat Chow, Friskies, and Science Diet, all three of them had various issues with both Eukanuba and Iams.
BTW, for those of you out there who think those two are separate companies? They aren't. They're both trash.
Anyway.
OP, the main difference between 'adult' cat food and 'mature adult' or 'senior' food, is joint and hip health. Some brands add more taurine, and most have fewer calories since, as your cat winds down in his later years, he doesn't need as much food to keep his weight steady. (Kitten food, similarly, has kitten-focused ingredients. DHA for eye and brain development, and more protein and calories for growing bodies.)
Like someone said, it really depends on your cat. Most ... people, not just vets or breeders or cat food makers, will say that your cat is a 'senior' at the age of seven. However, if your cat is still very active, what I would do is give him his normal adult food, but perhaps supplement his diet with senior-cat treats. That way he gets his glucosamine and taurine like he might need as he ages.
Anyway, feed your cat whatever she's doing well on. But with Blue, she'll digest better, need to eat less to get the same amount of nutrition, most digestive problems and skin problems disappear, and her shit will smell a lot less.
Your choice.
