Comment(by bjdj):

 On my category pages (http://example.com/?cat=X) I have the following
 block of code:

 <?php
         global $post;
         $gtc_test = get_the_category();
         print_r($gtc_test);
         print_r($post);
 ?>

 Both arrays are empty on category pages which have no posts with posttype
 'post' assigned e.g. if a category has posts with posttype 'movie' both
 arrays will stay empty.

 If a category does have a post with posttype 'post' both arrays will be
 filled with data and it is possible to retrieve the data e.g. the 'cat_ID'
 from the get_the_category() array.

 I hope this answers your question
