I have the following field in xml:

<field
   name="cat1"
   type="category"
   extension="COM_CONTENT"
   label="MOD_ITEM_CAT1"
   description="MOD_ITEM_CAT_DESC" />

Now, I wanted to get selected value:

echo $params->get('cat1');

Which shows me 8 (the value of selected option) not it's title.

I've category title people and it should show people instead of 8.

So, how to extract the title of the category?
