No, you're not losing the values; you want something other than the
defaults, but haven't taken the right steps to achieve that.

You need to tell Cake that you want something other than the default id &
name when you do a find('list').

Presumably, you have a slug column. Don't use the Category.name as the
option values because they may contain URL-unfriendly characters.
Use SluggableBehavior. There seem to be several floating around the
internet. Here's a recent one:
