[fw-db] Creating an instance of database table

Hi there,
I am a new zend framework user and I am having a problem in instantiating an
instance of one of my model inside an action controller.

I have one model as shown below

require_once 'Zend/Db/Table/Abstract.php';

class Category extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract{

protected $_name = 'category';
}

The controller is as shown below:
require_once 'Zend/Controller/Action.php';

class CatController extends Zend_Controller_Action {

public $cat;

public function init() {

$this->cat = new Category();
}

public function indexAction() {
}

}

But I am getting the below message and i don't know why:

Fatal error: Class 'Category' not found in
C:\wamp\www\eGal\application\controllers\CatController.php on line 21

any help is highly appreciated
