Remove prefix in the URL of category page - Wordpress

Question

How to remove the prefix before the URL to your category page?

WP will not allow blank prefix for the categories

For example, instead of http://xexamplesomeurlx.com/category/pets, I need to use the url as http://xexamplesomeurlx.com/pets. And same for all other cats as well.
