Laravel doesn't recognize a valid route

I'm using Laravel for a Cat Management App and I'm having trouble creating Cats as Laravel returns a 404 for my routes.

Route::get('cats/create', function() {
    $cat = new Cat;
    return View::make('cats.edit')
    ->with('cat',$cat)
    ->with('method','post');
});

This route returns a stack trace which throws a not found HTTP exception.

Why Isn't this working? The address I'm typing is

localhost:8000/cats/create

This is the result of PHP artisan routes. PHP ARTISAN ROUTES

You have the following routes in your application:

GET|HEAD cats/{cat}
GET|HEAD cats/create

If you hit http://localhost/cats/create that's going to get matched by the first route. It looks like you're using Route Model Binding so your application is trying to interpret "create" as the ID for an instance of the cats model - that's where it's failing.

You have to rearrange your route definitions, so that the route for cats/create is defined before the route for cats/{cat}.

i believe the route needs to start with a front slash

change:

Route::get('cats/create', function() {

to:

Route::get('/cats/create', function() {

final output:

Route::get('/cats/create', function() {
    $cat = new Cat;
    return View::make('cats.edit')
    ->with('cat',$cat)
    ->with('method','post');
});
