Answer 1

At the top of your htaccess , put the following rule :

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cat_id=2$ [NC]
RewriteRule category.php$ http://199.192.21.232/~admin/product-category/men-items? [L,R=302]

This will redirect http://199.192.21.232/~admin/product-category.php?cat_id=2 to http://199.192.21.232/~admin/product-category/men-items .

In case you have multiple old URLs with the same queryString , just change the condition pattern from ^cat_id=2$ to ^cat_id=.+$ . When you are sure the redirect is working fine change R=302 to R=301 to make the Redirection permanent .
