Objective-C categories: Can I add a property for a method not in my category?

I want to use a category to make a method on the original class available as a property as well.

Class A:

@interface ClassA
- (NSString*)foo;
@end

Class A category

@interface ClassA (Properties)
- (void)someCategoryMethod;
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSString *foo;
@end

Now when I do this, it seems to work, but it gives me warnings because I am not synthesizing the property in my category implementation. How do I tell the compiler everything is actually just fine since the original class synthesizes the property for me?
