CDSEO strips off the page variable as it isn't needed, but I was finding some people were having issues with the cat variable because developers were coding using the category variable from the query string variable of the url (bad x-cart practice IMO). For this reason I intentionally continued to pass the cat variable via the url when redirecting dynamic product urls.
I can do this in CDSEO because the SEO structure of CDSEO prevents this from being a problem. It doesn't hurt SEO in anyway because CDSEO:
Uses canonical links so search engines index the proper url (without the cat variable)
Replaces all of the on page dynamic variables
Replaces all of the dynamic variables in the xml sitemap, the froogle feed, etc.
For these reasons, the redirects aren't a problem and generally those urls will quickly become non-existent once CDSEO is installed.
