HTAccess giving 404s in wamp

I have installed WAMP and enabled the mod_rewrite module.

I am not used to developing on a windows machine, any recommendations? 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.so>
    Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d  //Rewrites if the directory doesn't exist
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f  //Rewrites if the file doesn't exist

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?cat=$1 [L,QSA]  // Change this to suit your needs

</IfModule>

localWebsite.ht.local, loads correctly.

localWebsite.ht.local/index.php, loads correctly.

localWebsite.ht.local/myQuery, does not load correctly, it gives a 404.

The rules look fine and assuming you've got the htaccess file in the correct directory (your domain's document root) then the only thing wrong that I see is that you're checking for the wrong module.

Because of a peculiarity in the way apache checks for modules, you need to check for the .c file, not the shared object file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Then ensure that you have the rewrite module loaded.
