Adding category attributes

I have added an integer attribute to categories by setting up an install script that runs like this:


$categoryEntityId = $installer->getEntityTypeId('catalog_category');
$installer->addAttribute($categoryEntityId, 'my_attribute', array(
    'type' => 'int',
    'input' => 'text',
    'label' => 'My Attribute',
    'required' => '0',
    'user_defined' => '1',
    ));

The attribute shows up fine in the eav_attribute table.

However, I can’t figure out how to put data in this attribute from PHP. The following does not add anything to the catalog_category_entity_int table as I would expect:


$cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(3);
$cat->setMyAttribute(1234);
$cat->save();

How do I save and load data into my new category attribute?
