using 'foreach' in first() not working Laravel Eloquent

I'm trying to add an custom attribute unto the retrieved collection

$category = categories::where('cat_id',$id)->first();
foreach($category as $c):
    dd(var_dump($c->cat_id))
    $c->custom_attr = $c->cat_id;
endforeach;

but it throws me this error

Trying to get property of non-object

not unless if I use 'get()' instead of 'first()' then it worked. If I do

$category = categories::where('cat_id',$id)->first();
foreach($category as $c):
    dd(var_dump($c))
endforeach;

it returns me

bool(true)
null

if I do

$category = categories::where('cat_id',$id)->first();
foreach($category as $c):
    dd(var_dump('xx'))
endforeach;

Sure the dump returns 'xx'. Any ideas, help please?

You should use get() instead of first().

first() gives you an object, get() will give you a collection of objects.

If you want to get properties, do not use foreach() or for(), just get properties like this:

$category->name;
