My category setup:
Dogs/Dog Name 1/Dog
Dogs/Dog Name 2/Dog
Dogs/Dog Name 3/Dog
Birds/Bird Name 1/Bird
Birds/Bird Name 2/Bird
Birds/Bird Name 3/Bird
Cats/Cat Name 1/Cat
Cats/Cat Name 2/Cat
Cats/Cat Name 3/Cat

When someone clicks on the 1st category (example Cats), it will display Cat Name 1, 2, and 3. After they click on Cat 1, 2, or 3, I want the same list to still display.

And to say it another way, that might be easier to understand... I always want the 2nd level category to display. If you click Birds as the main category, I want Bird Name 1, 2, and 3 to display. When you click on Bird Name 1, 2, or 3, I still want the Bird Name 1, 2, or 3 to display.

The following code only displays the subcategory for the page you are on, thus if you are on Cats/Cat Name 3/Cat it will NOT display the products under Cats.

Anyone help me out with this?
