We have two cats, a male (Max) and a smaller female (Polly). At the moment Polly is…
Polly appears to be the “top cat” and Max defers to her. That’s not unusual in multiple cat households. One feline typically controls the interaction in a given territory—in this case, the food buffet.
Feed the two cats separately. Feed Polly first (because she IS the top cat and deserves this privilege!). Then as soon as she’s done, move her to another room while you feed Max. Alternately, simply feed the cats at the same time, but in separate rooms with the doors shut. Meal feeding works best in these situations.
Alternatively, when you must leave food out during the day and can’t supervise the kitties, you may be able to devise a feeding station that makes use of the different sizes of these felines. Purchase a translucent storage container with a lid, that’s large enough to contain Max and his bowl. Cut a Max-size hole in one side, that’s only large enough for his slim form to enter but keeps pudgy Polly out. You can leave Max’s food bowl inside this container for him to come and go, munching at leisure, while Polly can’t get inside.
