    Can someone tell me (or point me to someplace that tells me) how to make use of GET variables in modrewrite?

    This is totally new territory for me. I basically want to do website.com/cat/cat_name and pull database entries based upon "cat_name".

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Use code such as the below in the .htaccess file, basic idea is to use paranthesis in the regular expressions and then use the matched content with $1, $2, $3 etc

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^cat/([^-]+)$ cats.php?name=$1 [L,NC,NS]

    Then in your PHP script cats.php the category name will be available in $_REQUEST['name'] using the example above
