If it's continuous, it can't really have categories (apart from those
induced by recording the variable to some limited precision, but people
don't generally call those categories).
The fact that you have a whole pile of zeros makes it mixed rather than
continuous, and the fact that you say "category" makes it sound purely
discrete.
