I went out on a limb and got my nieces a kitty for their birthday present. It was a risky move to do this without asking my brother's permission, but it's not like he can disown me. They just lost their last kitty, so I thought they would love to give a new one a home. My brother seemed a little perturbed and I don't think Scarlett likes him yet. She just wants the old kitty back, but I'll give it a little time before I call it my worst birthday idea ever. His name is Rusty, which is a huge relief because Scarlett was insisting that they name him Carrot.
