MAGENTO How to Check if the current page is Category or Not

After a great deal of frustration and numerous tantrums I discovered the solution is to wrap the code in a loop that checks if it’s a category page.

//LOOP TO CHECK IF ITS A CATEGORY PAGE
<?php if (Mage::registry('current_category')) { ?>

//INNER LOOP


<?php if(Mage::registry('current_category')->getId() == 5):?>
   <p>Shows this paragraph is the category id="5"</p>
<?php else: ?>
   <p>Else show this for different category pages</p>>
<?php endif; ?>

//SHOW THIS CONTENT IF ITS A CMS PAGE
<?php } else { ?>
   <p>Else show this paragraph for all other pages</p>>
<?php } ?>
