That isn't valid XSLT.  The select element must be closed within the scope
of the first xsl:if element.  Assuming that you have a template or templates
to create the options for the drop-down, your XSLT should probably look
like:

<xsl:if test="some condition">
  <select name="cat">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="cat"/>
  </select>
</xsl:if>
