RE: Got a surprise!
It's not a mistake. It's good to pop your kitties against something very recessive at least a couple times in their breeding cycle to find out if you have any hids. Could be something you really want that you don't know you had. Honestly it's how I got Scotty Fold ears and Fluffy tail the first time when I bought the kitties second hand for 100L. The owners didn't know what they had and didn't test against very recessive. Testing is always good.
So what did you get? You got a Foxie SP, a very recessive fur, usually pretty useful to breed against Halloween kitties and other starters since they have been on the market long enough that they usually have other recessive traits on them. There are only 6 furs more recessive than Foxie out of 90 furs so it works well to pop hiddens if you don't want to use an Aby Dark Choco or Blue Marble (whether because you don't have enough or you're chasing something elusive on another cat). Not as useful to sell since it used to be the most recessive, now a lot of people already have them but a solid breed to pop furs.
The Foxie hides Dark Aby or more recessive (lost Pinkie). The Grape Eyes hides Fancie Green or more recessive; the Plush tail hides Chop Chop or Stubby or more recessive than Stubby; The Ody #1 hides Ody #1 or MOF or more recessive than MOF (lost curious), the B&W hides blonde or more recessive (lost silver); Mysterious is hte only real problem as you may have double Mysterious. That Pinky hides Dreamy or more recessive, be cool to get that dreamy out. With the other traits being fairly dom though, probably wouldn't use this as a breeder.
Too bad it's not a girl, you could use it to pop out that blonde whisker by pairing back to the Pinky.
My personal opinion is no cat is a mistake and there are different reasons to breed cats together including finding out their hids which you did here. You didn't make a mistake: you found out more about the traits each kitty had.
