Return value is a text with properties. You can use
(substring-no-properties (org-get-category (point)))
to get just the text part.
I think you will be better off using the property APIs. You can use
(org-entry-get (point) "CATEGORY")
to extract the desired information.
See "Using the property API" section of the manual.
