Pathou is a very special toy. He was Ben's first birthday present to me. We weren't even lovers back then, but somehow I think we felt unconsciously that we were going to be. I draw my friends and I as animal, and Ben is a black panther, and so when he saw Pathou on a shelf in a store, he knew he was perfect for me. It's funny that a friend of his asked him why on earth he was buying that, that girls don't like toys like that... 'Seems like some do. ;)
The name Pathou is a deformation of the word Panther. Ben and I often gurgle and baby talk to each other.
