Pagination of current category

Question

I'm trying to paginate a current category. But when I go to the next page, wordpress not show only all post of the current category, wordpress show all post of all categories. Somebody can help me?

Category.php

<!-- loop -->
<?php $cat_ID = get_query_var('cat'); ?>
<?php query_posts('&cat=<' . $cat_ID . '&showposts=6'); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-xs-12 col-lg-4">
        <div class="thumbnail">
            <article>
                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('photo-thumbnail') ?></a>
                <div class="caption">
                    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3></a>
                    <!-- añade custom field autor del relato -->
                </div>
            </article>
        </div>
        <div class="thumbnailFooter">
            <div class="pull-left" style="margin-bottom: 4px;">
                <?php echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('ID'), 32); ?>
            </div>
            <div class="smallFont pull-left" style="margin-left: 5px; width: 270px;">
                <span class="blue bold"><?php the_author(); ?></span>
            </div>
            <div class="verySmallFont pull-left" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-top: -3px;">
                en <?php the_category(none); ?> el <?php the_date(); ?>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php my_pagination(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- / fin del loop -->

Function.php

<?php
if (!function_exists('my_pagination')) :
    function my_pagination() {
        global $wp_query;

        $big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer

        echo paginate_links(
            array(
                'base'      => str_replace($big, '%#%', esc_url(get_pagenum_link($big))),
                'format'    => '?paged=%#%',
                'current'   => max(1, get_query_var('paged')),
                'total'     => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
                'prev_text' => __('« Anterior'),
                'next_text' => __('Siguiente »'),
            )
        );
    }
endif;

EDIT::::::::::

After do suggested changes (but don't works). Wordpress not limit 5 post per page and the paginator not appear.

<!-- loop de post -->
<?php
$project_category = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID); ?>
<?php $query = new WP_Query(array('posts_per_page' => 5)); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-xs-12 col-lg-4">
        <div class="thumbnail">
            <article>
                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('photo-thumbnail') ?></a>
                <div class="caption">
                    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                        <h3 style="font-weight:bold; margin-top: 0px; line-height: 1.3;"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
                    </a>
                    <!-- añade custom field autor del relato -->
                </div>
            </article>
        </div>
        <div class="thumbnailFooter">
            <div class="pull-left" style="margin-bottom: 4px;">
                <?php echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('ID'), 32); ?>
            </div>
            <div class="smallFont pull-left" style="margin-left: 5px; width: 270px;">
                <span class="blue bold"><?php the_author(); ?></span>
            </div>
            <div class="verySmallFont pull-left" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-top: -3px;">
                en <span class="bold gray"><?php the_category(none); ?></span>
                el <?php the_date(); ?>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
    <div style="text-align: right; padding-right: 12px;">
        <?php my_pagination(); ?>
    </div>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- / fin del loop -->

You seem to have a left angle bracket < inside your query_posts function. Try removing that.

The problem may be how you're getting the category ID. To get the category ID, try using the method in the accepted answer in the following thread http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8829632/get-current-category-id-of-the-active-page – henrywright Dec 07 '13 at 18:36
Actually, query_posts() isn't recommended. I'd try using WP_Query instead http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query – henrywright Dec 07 '13 at 18:43
I used before the loop: ID); ?> $project_category)); ?> ¿how can I limit the post per page? I must limit the post per page for try if paginator works – Carlos Hervas Ortega Dec 07 '13 at 19:53
posts_per_page is the parameter you can use for that – henrywright Dec 07 '13 at 19:58
Henry Wright, i'm a beginner, where I must include posts_per_page=6 exactly? – Carlos Hervas Ortega Dec 07 '13 at 20:04
You'd do something like this: $query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ); – henrywright Dec 07 '13 at 21:25
Thank you, but not limit the post and paginator not appear. I'm going to edit this post with the actual code. – Carlos Hervas Ortega Dec 07 '13 at 21:29
Your loop isn't quite right. It needs to make use of the $query object you created via 'new WP_Query' – henrywright Dec 07 '13 at 22:00
Could you tell me how? Thank you – Carlos Hervas Ortega Dec 08 '13 at 00:07
