Abstract: The following inequality cat Xle cat Y+lceilfrac{hd(X)-r}{r+1} ceil holds for every locally trivial fibration between $ANE$ spaces $f:XoY$ which admits a section and has the $r$-connected fiber where $hd(X)$ is the homotopical dimension of $X$. We apply this inequality to prove that cat Xle lceilfrac{dim X-1}{2} ceil+cd(pi_1(X)) for every complex $X$ with $cd(p{i}_1(X))le2$.
