Since You want to do it without complicating the code with ajax,

solution is simply sending POST request and defining DELETE method as hidden field.

For simplicity You can add that field using method_field helper:

@foreach($data as $product)
  <tr  style="height:50px">
    <td style="padding:10px">{{$product->cat_name}}</td>
    <td><a class="btn btn-sm btn-fill btn-primary"
           href="{{url('/admin/editCategory')}}/{{$product->id}}">Edit</a></td>

    <td>
      <form 
        method="post" 
        action="{{url(''admin/removeCategory')}}/{{$product->id}}"> 

        {!! Form::token() !!}
        {{ method_field('DELETE') }}

        <button 
          type="submit"
          onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?')"
          class="btn btn-sm btn-fill btn-primary">Remove</button>
      </form>
    </td>

  </tr>
@endforeach

and make sure after deleting object it's returning back to listing:

public function removeCategory($id) {
  $Cat = cats::find($id);
  if ($Cat) {
    $Cat->delete();
  }
  return redirect()->back();
}

UPD.: This answer may be a bit outdated and Form class may be removed from new versions of Laravel. If you see: Class "Form" not found install laravelcollective\html package

composer require laravelcollective/html

or remove Form::token()

or replace with: csrf_token described here

  1. You must submit a DELETE request. Look at num8er's answer for this. You don't have to do it through a form, you can do it through AJAX, but just using <a href will result in a GET request.

  2. You are also type hinting $id as a Request object in the controller method. Therefore, Laravel will provide you with a Request object instead of the number passed as a parameter in the URL. You need to remove the type hinting on that parameter, or use a type that actually fits:

 public function removeCategory($id) {

 }

Try editing your route to this: Route::get('removeCategory/{id}','AdminController@removeCategory');

Then edit your controller to this: 

public function removeCategory($id){
    $cats = cats::find($id);
    $cats->delete();
    return response(['Message' => 'This request has been deleted'], 200);
}

This is an alternative to the answer provided above, though I would recommend sticking to the answer provided by num8er.

MethodNotAllowedHttpException tells us that we tried to request the server with a http method type which is not supported at that endpoint. For example you tried to do a GET request on an url which only allows DELETE.
