   I want to be able to separate my feeds by content but have not been able to find a plugin to do this. Any advice in this regard is appreciated.

   No need for plugin.
   WP creates the category feeds out of the box.
   example.com/category/mycategory/feed - if using permalinks;
   otherwise they are at:
   example.com/?cat=1&feed=rss2

   Thanks much. I was using example.com/feed/category/mycategory. That explains it.

   Now that I have that straightened out, how do I call the category slug? get_the_category only seems to let me get id, title, and description. I'm using
   

   foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) {
   echo $cat->cat_name . ' ';
   }

   as I am constructing a feed link on each category page. My loop doesn't give me the slug though.

   Since the table column in wp-categories is category_nicename,
   

   foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) {
   echo $cat->category_nicename . '/feed';
   }

   gets the job done. I see that I can call table data by column name. Safe to assume other functions work by the same logic. I'll see.
