   Hey,

   Is there any way to get the category (id or slug) that's requested from wordpress?
   I mean, if I'm watching http://www....../category/animals, is there any way to return "animals" in php? (I want to use it for a special wp_query).

   Thanks,

   in the archive template (category.php or archive.php):

   <?php $cat_id = get_query_var('cat');
   $cat_slug = get_category($cat_id)->slug; ?>

   untested
