Answer 1

Most likely because Your view uses wrong class.

Currently it's something like:

<%@ Page Language="C#" 
  MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" 
  Inherits="ViewPage<IQueryable<category>>" %>

But it should be:

<%@ Page Language="C#" 
  MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" 
  Inherits="ViewPage<catnewModel>" %>

Add Your view declaration to Your answer to clarify that out.
