Well, that's because they are not subcategories. You cannot tag a category to a category and it be a subcategory. The way to tell is look on the Cat page for a section "This category includes the following subcategories". You'll not see the category which was just tagged to it.

The proper way to make subcategories is to open *not* the category to add to it, but to open the intended subcategory and add *it to* the category you want it sub to.

So for example, you want to make "Executed" a subcategory of "Deceased". you do not open Deceased to add Executed to it. You must open "Executed" and add "Deceased" to it. Then when you go back to Deceased, you'll find "Executed" listed in the "includes the following subcategories" section.

By trying to do the same as adding Cats to articles, most people are doing subcats wrong.
