Is it considered cannibalism if a tiger (big cats) ate a small cats (domesticated) bc they are not the same species, but belong to the same family...?

Domestic tigers, those in zoos, circuses, etc, have been known to eat their young. They would probably eat just about anything if faced with starvation. But it is not cannabalism to eat a domestic cat as they are a different species.
