Change RewriteRule to Redirect:

RewriteEngine on
Redirect (.*)\.html$ cat.php?typ=$1

_{*By the way, "typ" is written as "type"}

If you want to redirect form the first URL to the second:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^typ=([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$
RewriteRule ^cat\.php$ cat/%1/? [R,L]

If you want to edit the links in your HTML you could try mod_substitute (make sure that mod_filter is also enabled):

AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html
Substitute s|/?cat\.php\?typ=([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)|/cat/$1/|i

if you type manually your new link it works right?

simply have your html link point to "Politics.html" instead of "cat.php?typ=Politics" htaccess will take care of the rest
