Cant insert into a table using laravel - php

Question

i have this code and when i try to access laravel.dev/cats/create a page appears:
Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
this is my route.php code(important parts):
Route::model('cat', 'Cat');
Route::get('cats/create', function() {
$cat = new Cat;
return View::make('cats.edit')
->with('cat', $cat)
->with('method', 'post');
});
Route::post('cats', function(){
$cat = Cat::create(Input::all());
return Redirect::to('cats/' . $cat->id)
->with('message', 'Successfully created page!');
});
Route::get('cats/{id}', function($id) {
$cat = Cat::find($id);
return View::make('cats.single')
->with('cat', $cat);
});
and this is my cats/edit.blade.php code:
#extends('master')
#section('header')
← Cancel
<h2>
#if($method == 'post')
Add a new cat
#elseif($method == 'delete')
Delete {{$cat->name}}?
#else
Edit {{$cat->name}}
#endif
</h2>
#stop
#section('content')
{{Form::model($cat, array('method' => $method, 'url'=>
'cats/'.$cat->id))}}
#unless($method == 'delete')
<div class="form-group">
{{Form::label('Name')}}
{{Form::text('name')}}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{Form::label('Date of birth')}}
{{Form::text('date_of_birth')}}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{Form::label('Breed')}}
{{Form::select('breed_id', $breed_options)}}
</div>
{{Form::submit("Save", array("class"=>"btn btn-default"))}}
#else
{{Form::submit("Delete", array("class"=>"btn btn-default"))}}
#endif
{{Form::close()}}
#stop
i dont now where the problem , i have the same code for edit and delete but those guys work correctly but this one no!
this is the error that debugger reports:
Trying to get property of non-object (View: D:\Xampp\htdocs\laravel\app\views\cats\single.blade.php)
<?php echo e($cat->name); ?>
error mention that line.
Thanks for Your helps:))))
Edit:
and this is single.blade.php:
#extends('master')
#section('header')
<?php// dd($cat); ?>
Back to overview
<h2>
{{{$cat->name}}}
</h2>
<a href="{{url('cats/'.$cat->id.'/edit')}}">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-edit"></span> Edit
</a>
<a href="{{url('cats/'.$cat->id.'/delete')}}">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></span> Delete
</a>
Last edited: {{$cat->updated_at}}
#stop
#section('content')
<p>Date of Birth: {{$cat->date_of_birth}} </p>
<p>
#if($cat->breed)
Breed:
{{link_to('cats/breeds/' . $cat->breed->name,
$cat->breed->name)}}
#endif
</p>
#stop
i don't know why when i was go to cats/create i passes to single.blade.php i think this is where i'm going wrong but no idea where in code i do that

The problem is in:
Route::get('cats/{id}', function($id) {
$cat = Cat::find($id);
return View::make('cats.single')
->with('cat', $cat);
});
It seems that there is no record found with $id, so $cat is null here and it won't work in Blade.
You should check what's the current url (what's the $id value) and make sure that there is a record with such $id in table).
