Cannot update object that was never inserted

I create an category object and save it:

    NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext = [[FTAppDelegate sharedAppDelegate] managedObjectContext];

    _category = (Category *)[NSEntityDescription
                             insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Category"
                             inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];

    NSError *error = nil;
    [managedObjectContext save:&error];
    if (error) {
        NSLog(@"error saving: %@",error);
    }

then edit the name of the category object and save again.

    _category.name = _nameTextField.text;

    NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext = [[FTAppDelegate sharedAppDelegate] managedObjectContext];

    NSError *error = nil;
    [managedObjectContext save:&error];
    if (error) {
        NSLog(@"error saving: %@",error);
    }

and get this error:
