Subject: auto_increment model method wont increment but no error ?

Hi, i'm trying to get my ChrissMonster model to pull back the value of
"eat" in the chriss_monster table and increment the value by 1.

Here's my controller function:
>>>
def feed
  @chriss_monster = ChrissMonster.find(params[:id])
  @chriss_monster.feed
  redirect_to :action => 'list'
end
<<<

Here's my model:
>>>
class ChrissMonster < ActiveRecord::Base
  def feed
    ChrissMonster.increment_counter :eat, :id
  end
end
<<<

When I call the controller function, it directs me back to the list
page, it doesn't give me an error, and it does NOT increment the "eat"
value.

What am I doing wrong?  How else could I rewrite this?

Thanks for reading!
