I had a very big cat and each time he see the small kitten he goes on top of him and my grandmother said the big cat want to stretch the little cat out to kill him. Please tell me what to do.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may in fact be a display or aggressive or dominant behavior. I would recommend that you keep him away from other cats that trigger this aggressive behavior in him. Best of luck!
