Answer 1

Looking at your posts migration, the category relationship in your Post model should be belongsTo not belongsToMany:

public function category()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(Category::class);
}

BelongsToMany is a many-to-many relationship which requires an intermediate (pivot) table to link the two resources.
