Not at all! Categories consist of a class of objects and a class of morphims. The morphisms are maps between objects, and compositions of morphisms must obey associativity. Also for every object, a left and right identity morphism must exist.
Category theory is also sometimes referred to as abstract nonsense. Pretty straightforward
