Product Category in Cart

This is definitely the last one before Christmas, but I can't work it out!

I am trying to access the category of products that are in my cart. I have done this to get the cart as an array:

  $rawCart = perch_shop_cart([
  'skip-template'=> true
  ]);

Then I am going through the items to create a little bit of javascript for each for sending to my analytics:

  function getItemJs($item) {
  if ($item['category']['0'] == 1) {
  $category = 'Bulldog';
  }
  elseif ($item['category']['0'] == 2) {
  $category = 'Club';
  }
  elseif ($item['category']['0'] == 3) {
  $category = 'Ship';
  }
  elseif ($item['category']['0'] == 4) {
  $category = 'Corgi';
  }
  elseif ($item['category']['0'] == 5) {
  $category = 'Drummer';
  }
  elseif ($item['category']['0'] == 6) {
  $category = 'Electric';
  }
  elseif ($item['category']['0'] == 7) {
  $category = 'Liberty';
  }
  elseif ($item['category']['0'] == 8) {
  $category = 'Cube';
  }
  elseif ($item['category']['0'] == 9) {
  $category = 'Woof';
  }
  elseif ($item['category']['0'] == 10) {
  $category = 'King';
  }
  elseif ($item['category']['0'] == 12) {
  $category = 'Blip';
  }
  else {
  $category = 'Unknown';
  }

  return <<<HTML
  ga('ec:addProduct', {
  'id': '{$item['sku']}',
  'name': '{$item['title']}',
  'price': '{$item['price_with_tax']}',
  'quantity': '{$item['qty']}',
  'category': '{$category}'
  });
HTML;
  }

  foreach ($rawCart['items'] as $item) {
      echo getItemJs($item);
    }

My problem is that category is not present in the array where I would expect it. If I do a showall in a template I get what I would expect:

[category] => Array
  (
    [0] => 6
  )

But in my $rawCart array the category information is not there. I have used the process above with perch_shop_order_items and it has worked perfectly, but this has me stumped

How can I access the category to output it to my javascript?

Thanks for your help as always!
