 <select name="edit" style="width:auto;" class="custom-select my-1 mr-sm-1" id="inlineFormCustomSelectPref">
                                                                            
<?php
 while ($result = $query->fetch_assoc()){
 echo "<option name='id' value='{$result['id']}'>{$result['cat']}</option>";

You are passing id via URL, so you can access it by $_GET['id']. If you want to access via $_POST['id'], you need to add a hidden input in your form.

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />

Replace this

<form action="edit_cat.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>" method="post">

With this:

<form action="edit_cat.php" method="post">

And then Add Hidden Input Inside your form:

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
