That is a bit inconsistent, but maybe there is a reason. In many languages we don't consider reflexive verbs to be separate terms, but instead we say that some of the meanings are reflexive. For these languages, it would not make as much sense to categorise them as "reflexive verbs" because they're not really, only some of the meanings are. (The same probably applies to "transitive" and "intransitive" too, but never mind that...)

We could apply the same method to Macedonian as well. Then, се кае would be moved to кае and we would add a label saying that for the meaning "regret" it is used reflexively. Then we would not even need the category anymore. I don't know if this is better than what we have now, though. An advantage is that someone who sees кае and does not realise that it's reflexive verb, will still find the correct entry.

If we decide to keep the entry at се кае, then we would need to add a parameter of some kind to either the inflection table templates or to, to categorise the verb in Category:Macedonian reflexive verbs.
