Blind kitten eating behaviors..

I have a question for anyone who may have a blind kitty. I am not overly concerned with this behavior, just more curious.
My kitten Billy, is 16 weeks old. We have had him for about 4 weeks. We feed our cats (8 total) a can of wet food in the morning, and at night. We leave the dry food bowl out during the day also.
When we feed the wet food, we typically open the can and spread it onto a paper plate for the cats to share. Not all the cats actually eat the wet food, and 4/5 of them will crowd around the plate and eat.
Our newest kitten is Billy and he is blind. He cannot eat with the other kitties. If he is eating the dry food and someone comes up to share the bowl, he doesn't seem to have an issue. But with wet food, he refused to share. At first, we used only one plate for food. Billy would growl as he ate if anyone was near him, and it made the other cats refuse to eat near him.
We ended up having to give him a small portion of food on a separate plate. He does better that way, but still if any cat comes near him while he is eating, he growls.
We are fine feeding them like this, and assume that because Billy can't see, he doesn't understand the concept of sharing the food and instead feels like someone is coming to steal his food....anyone have any insight on this?
We were hoping to not have to feed them separate forever, but I am thinking we will probably have to.

Thanks for the reply!! He does eat the dry food, only a few bites at a time. We used to only have dry food for our kitties, and when we got my kitten Joey about 2 1/2 months ago, he refused to eat dry food. When we got him he was just 6 weeks old, and still very much an infant kitten. We had to mix dry food with wet just to get him to eat some of the dry food. He likes the wet food so much, we ended up doing a can in the am and a can in the evening...and they got used to it, and we had read it was good for them so we continued with it.

When we brought Billy home, he was fed in his own room for atleast a week while we tried getting him used to the house and other cats. With dry food, Billy eats only when no one else is around and only a little bit...He basically saves himself for the wet food. We put a scoop of it onto a plate for him, and when he is finished with his plate, he walks to the other plate if there is any left and tries to lick up any remains. We were thinking that since he couldn't see how much food was on his plate, he was not into sharing because he wanted it all to himself. He certainly is a grubby kitten but he is adorable. He gets so excited for wet food that it gets all over his face/chin/whiskers/tag...he likes to run and climb onto my husbands chest for a nap after he eats, and my husband has even seen food in his ears after he finishes eating! He is a messy little boy.
