    Just a note, that .htaccess would be placed at the root of your site, but if you wanted to place it in a folder called topic you'd do something like this:

    
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule (.*?)/(.*?)/$ cat.php?catslug=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule (.*?)/$ cat.php?catslug=$1&page=1
    Code (markup):
