Yes, Patrick, I can see your point. I would never have considered copying or posting the pattern, but I can see how a swap is no better. Thank you for pointing this out, and I will refrain from the practice in the future. My only reason for offering in the first place is that I was unsure whether the pattern was even available any more. I've had my copy for quite a while. In any event, your point is well taken and I will keep it in mind in the future.
I love your design, by the way. As a cat lover, it was irresistable when I saw it the first time. Also, it's well written. Even a beginner like me could easily follow it and complete it with relatively good results.
