is there some-more fit proceed origination pagination hibernate executing name count queries?

usually pagination queries feeling this. there improved proceed instead origination twin roughly equal methods, executing "select *..." "count *..."?

public list<cat> findcats(string name, int offset, int limit) {

    query q = session.createquery("from cat where name=:name");

    q.setstring("name", name);

    (offset > 0) {
        q.setfirstresult(offset);
    }
    (limit > 0) {
        q.setmaxresults(limit);
    }

    relapse q.list();

}

public enlarged countcats(string name) {
    query q = session.createquery("select count(*) cat where name=:name");
    q.setstring("name", name);
    relapse (long) q.uniqueresult();
}
