For newborn and young kittens, kneading is a way to get the mother to let her milk down into her teats so that the kittens can feed.
This reflexive behavior seems to stay with the cat as it ages . . . and its 'human' is the mother figure that triggers the kneading behavior.

Would a clan of three adult cats kill a kitten new to your home?
It is very unlikely. Most adult cats don't kill kittens. Adult cats are territorial and want their space. Otherwise, they usually avoid the kitten. Normally adult cats will hiss and growl at the kitten. Then pop the kitten with its paw. Then go away. Some adult cats will adopt the kitten. I have an adult female cat that adopts kittens as her own. She lets the kitten nurse, she cleans it and plays with it.
