How can i get catecory name and link inside the products list?

[d3s1gn3r]

Hi. I am building a new theme and i am looking for a way to display the category name and the category link inside each product item in product lists. I am using the smarty code 

Quote

{$product.category_name}

so i can get the category name of the product that belongs to that category but i really can't find a way (using smarty code) so i can get the url that links to that category. I already tried:
 

Quote

<a href="{$product.category_name}">{$product.category_name}</a>

but this code generate the url:

Quote

http://mysite.com/category/home-accessories

instead of:

Quote

http://mysite.com/category/8-home-accessories

Does anyone knows how can i make it work using only smarty code ?
Thanks in advance
