Google Drive API JavaScript - Insert file

I'm trying to "insert" a Drive file. I've made the auth and it works right :)

But when I try to create (insert) a new file from JS, it creates one, but a file named "Untitled" with no extension at all. (I have a sync folder on my file system, and it is the same thing).

My code is this:

 function createNewFile(  ) {
    gapi.client.load('drive', 'v2', function() {
    var request = gapi.client.drive.files.insert ( {
        "title" : "cat.jpg",
        "mimeType" : "image/jpeg",
        "description" : "Some"
        } );
    request.execute(function(resp) { console.log(resp); });
    });
 }

Any idea about what is wrong? I can list files from my drive from JS, and this code creates this "untitled" and no extensioned file.

I have that working like this:

function createNewFile(  ) {

    gapi.client.load('drive', 'v2', function() {

       var request = gapi.client.request({
        'path': '/drive/v2/files',
        'method': 'POST',
        'body':{
            "title" : "cat.jpg",
            "mimeType" : "image/jpeg",
            "description" : "Some"
         }
     });

      request.execute(function(resp) { console.log(resp); });
   });
}

Bear in mind that if a file with title cat.jpg already exists, this request will create another file with the same title, since files in Google Drive have unique file IDs by which are referred internally.
