Website use the opencart cms, SEO url enabled, so the .htaccess looks :
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
all works perfect, but i wanted to add the 301 redirect from non www to www, so i added:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
It works, but when i try to redirect link with category or product it adds "index.php?route="
Example:
"www.example.com/cats", if i try "example.com/cats" without "www" the link will look www.example.com/index.php?route=cats

You need to add all of your redirects before any routing rules (e.g. the rules you have that route things to index.php
. So your htaccess file needs to look something like this:
# redirect rules first
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# then routing rules
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
