Use a cache that allows you to give names to cached objects.
Store your category list in the cache under a name like
"global-category-list'.

When ever you change the categories, you expire the named object.  The you
either let the next lookup regenerate the list, or regenerate it when the
update is made to the list.

All access to the cached data must be performed through a machanism that
wraps the cache.
