Won't eat wet food (fed along with dry)

I feed my kitten dry food and wet food. She is roughly 5-7lb estimated. She is fed in the morning about one to under one cup of the dry food to free feed but she eats most in the morning. Then at 8:30 she is fed wet food for a snack or just better nutritional part of the diet. The can reads one can per 6-8 lbs. But because she is only getting it as s minor part of the diet I just have been giving about a large spoonful. The first month or so she ate it all (my proportion matching her smaller body). But now she won't but take one bite.

I buy 4health from tractor supply and she loves her dry food and like I said loved the wet as well. I have tried all the flavors except adult something because she isn't an adult cat.

I know this isn't a dire situation but I would like her to have more variety and nutrients than just dry alone. Any reason she has stopped liking or way I can get her to like it again?

I know the wet is better that's why I wanted to feed it as well. But it is more expensive so I just chose to have a split diet. She really liked the brand at first so I will try to cut back and see if she will start to eat it again and if not then I will try other brands. Thanks guys.

I said one to under one. Very rarely does it reach one cup and that is what my bag of cat food reads. It gives proportions to how much they wiegh. She is also only getting about a spoon of wet. I'm not sure if everyone is like where I live but we have three sizes of spoons and I feed her the smallest. And no she is very skinny people,hopefully joking, say I starve my cat because around me most people just leave a tub of grocery brand dry food out until it spoils. They also say I spoil because I even attempt to give her wet food. 

Please be understanding. She is not a huge kitten. She was taken in from the outdoors into my home and is is spoiled rotten. But I am just in highschool and I pay for everything myself  so she will still be eating dry and wet but I will certainly cut back. Thanks again for the feedback.

2cats4me how much do your cats weigh? I feed mine fancy feast pate' as well... 2 cans per day... but she doesn't get dry, but am "thinking" about adding some dry just overnight.

ok thank you! Mikki is about 15 pounds (just lost Minnie) so we're pretty much in the same boat there.
