Too much dye in the food, too much salt, or something in them that just plain upsets her stomach. Don't give them to her.
Cats don't need treats anyway, it adds more calories than they need. You can get them excited by just taking individual pieces of dry cat food and skittering it across the floor for them to chase and eat.

first wet food is not really recommended although i do give it to my kids as a treat only very rarely also remember the recall on pet food this could be an issue also changing their diet can cause these problems my kids dont mind but some cats do.wet food can be too rich for your kitty so i would suggest to supplement diet maybe canned salmon not tuna much better for kittys digestion and if this continues or any other symptoms occur it might not be the food consult a vet gl

Maybe your cat doesnt like (or is allergic to) something in the food, check the labels to see the friskies contains something that the wiskas doesnt? Or maybe the food is just not fresh, check to see if the can is dented or if there is a date on it. Also if the can was in a warm room after being opened that could cause the food to spoil. I give my cat food that contains no by-products it is alitte more expensive but i beleive it is healthier.

more than likely, she has a sensitive stomach. my girl kitty was getting this posh natural canned and dry food, but when her brother came it was too rich from him so he had diarreha and he threw up a lot. we switched them to a food that was more gentle and now there's no vomiting AND the litter box smells better.
you might also be overfeeding her. one cat would typically only need a half a regular can or one small can of wet food per day plus about 1/3 cup of dry food.

No cat really needs the treats. I have no idea what's in them but they certainly have a tendency to fatten fluffy up.
Your cat has an allergy to something in the food/treats. Compare labels to see what's in both. See if you can detect the problem from that angle.

She's probably eating too fast. I have 2 cats that pig out sometimes and if the food bowl is empty then one of them has a tendency to eat too fast and regurgitate the food she ate right after.
Also you might want to switch to a different type of food than that, that's not that great for them, they'll survive but don't count on it giving them that much nutrition.

When you abruptly change your pets diet, it can really upset their stomach. There may be an ingredient that your cat is allergic to. What you would have to do is just try different treats...there are treats out there for animals with food allergies.

My cat has a problem very similar to that. Try giving her Purina or Iams Sensitive Systems. I can't help you with the treats.
