CakePhp: проблема с моделью и именем таблицы

У меня есть StatsController.php с

class StatsController extends AppController {
    public function edit($id = null) {
        var_dump($this->Stat);
    }
}

У меня есть StatModel.php с

class Stat extends AppModel {
    public $useTable = 'tips';
    // ....
}

Когда я пытаюсь сохранить свои данные, моя первоначальная ошибка:

Отсутствует таблица базы данных | Ошибка: таблица статистики для модели Stat не найдена в источнике данных по умолчанию.

Что я делаю не так, спасибо.

Вот var_dump:
