Cooked egg whites are ok. It raw egg whites that can cause problems.
My only concern is the "poached eggs." Just be sure you give him only the yokes. There's something in the egg white that can harm cats.

Raw egg whites are mostly water, so there is very little nutritional value in them; however, they can harbor nasty little things like E. Coli and Salmonella.

We don't have a bag of treats, actually.. Grizzly's treats don't come out of a bag. We cook them. Poached, turkey or chicken, poached eggs etc.. Sometimes we give him turkey slices we buy from the supermarket, which we use to make sandwiches, pizzas etc..
So, I can practically hide nothing.. They are ready, cooked and kept in the fridge.. So my mother either just gets up and goes to the fridge, or she already has them near her and gives them to Grizzly..
I told her about the vomit and the diarrhea and about not giving him any milk at all, from now on. When I buy some lactose free or goat milk, I'll give him some.. Of course, she insisted that I'm making up his intollerance to milk.. Like.. it wasn't her fault he's been like this since noon..
Thankfully now, he is asleep.. He hasn't manifested anything weird the last few hours.. We'll see...
Thanks both of you for the warningCooked egg whites are ok. It raw egg whites that can cause problems.

@Fyllis I used to give Grizzly some scrambled eggs, but I think he got tired of them? Or.. I don't know. He ate like 3-4 times and then he wouldn't eat them anymore.. So, one morning, I didn't have any descent materials to prepare me a breakfast, so I just poached an egg to eat.. And he "assulted" it..

Disease aside, raw egg whites contain avidin, an enzyme that hinders the absorption of biotin, a B vitamin necessary for healthy skin and hair. That isn't a consideration with raw egg yolks, though.
Both egg white and yolk are completely safe as long as they are cooked. I've attempted plain scrambled eggs and neither of my cats cared for it. They just looked at the plate, then at me, and rolled their eyes and walked off giving me a glare that clearly said, "I thought you said you could cook?".
They readily change their minds when it comes to cooked chicken breast though. The picky little brats!
Conan seems to be better, @Margd thank you!BTW: How is Conan? Hope the little guy is feeling better. Hugs to beautiful Grizzly, farts and all!
