Add category name to .blog-categories.minor-meta

Hi guys ! i’m trying to achieve a custom post-grid, i want a background color for each category div.

here is my css

.blog-categories.minor-meta <em>(i want to put my cat name here)</em> {
margin-top: -40px !important;
margin-bottom: 10px !important;
background-color:#e2092d !important;
border-radius: 0 0 3px 3px;}

and here is my postslider.php line 610:

if(!empty($cats))

		                        $meta_out .= '<span class="blog-categories minor-meta';
								$meta_out .= $cats;
								$meta_out .= '">';
								$meta_out .= $cats;
		                        $meta_out .= '</span>';

Apparently, $cats return the link info, the category name etc…,

here is the inspector :
blog-categories minor-meta<a href= etc...

how can i get only the category name ?

Thx !
