Comment (by ocean90):

 You shouldn't mix up the ''slug'' of the cat and the ''name'' of the
 category.

 `get_cat_ID()` returns the ID from the category name, not the slug. If you
 want the ID from a category slug you have to use `get_category_by_slug()`.

 Also I couldn't reproduce the issue you have described. Even it's the slug
 `get_cat_ID()` returns the correct ID, tested in 3.4 and 3.5.
