How to exclude one directory from the {REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d condition via .htaccess?

Question

htaccess

Hello!

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(catalog)/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

I use opencart, there is a /catalog/ directory at the root of the site, and I also created a category with the url /catalog/.
I need to redirect to index.php when I go to /catalog/, how can I do this correctly? Thanks in advance!
