I had this with Cali for about 5 or so months. Feeding time was ridiculous. The growls, the swipes, the nips to get the food back. She eventually outgrew it. But, I don't think they always do.
The discipline mentioned above might work. When we took in our last four, two of whom we kept, I nearly stopped feeding cats wet food all together. It was just WAY too much to deal with. It should have been a horror film or something. Then two got adopted out, and I now deal with just one crazed kitty. I have to 'pop' him on the bottom, (again, one finger, just looking for the contact to redirect), and mostly sit there while they all finish up their 1 tablespoon of wet food, or he goes on to everyone else's bowl. Funny, I can train 7 cats to sit in their assigned places....but one bad egg sends us over the edge.
