Larry the Leopard

**Larry the Leopard** (AKA **Larry the Leopard, Jr.**) is the toy stuffed leopard of Cleveland Junior. Junior carries him around and talks to him as though he were a real person. Cleveland doesn't like this, as he thinks Junior is too old to be playing with children's toys.

## Biography

In "Brawl in the Family", Junior played with Larry the Leopard and Cleveland berated him for acting like such a childish pansy, reminding him that he's 14 years old. Junior felt offended but didn't let this stop him from playing with Larry. Robert on the other hand, thought that Larry the Leopard was badass and that Junior playing with him made him seem tough and agile like a leopard. Junior started to like Robert better because of how much nicer Robert was being to him so Cleveland had to learn to be more accepting of Junior playing with Larry if he wanted to be a good father to his kids.

In "Good News Bear", Junior cuddled with Larry the Leopard for comfort, whenever he was sad or scared. This gave Cleveland the idea to cuddle with Tim, whenever he was in a time of distress.

Junior tells Larry to go get help. Cleveland looks up and sees Larry's tail leaving the room, meaning that he must be alive, which naturally shocks Cleveland.

In "A Cleveland Brown Christmas", Larry the Leopard sat on the couch in a Santa hat, while the family was opening Christmas presents.
