 * Hey guys & gals,
 * I used a simple function to output the number of posts for each category…
 * [code]
    function the_category_count( $cat_id ){ $o = wp_cache_get( $cat_id, '
   category' ); print $o->count; } [/code]
 * However for some reason the numbers only appear beside a select few categories,
   most are omitted. Does anybody have any idea why some of the categories have 
   been skipped?
 * You can see an example of the numbers skipping here:
 * [http://idesigniphone.com/](http://idesigniphone.com/)
 * The skipping begins with Animals, Anime and so on.
 * Thank you for looking,
    Mario
