Larry’s early life
Larry was originally a stray cat, and it seems that he was struggling with his life. He was then placed in an animal shelter in London. He then went on to serve as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office. But Larry doesn’t seem to be very good at catching mice, and he was almost fired once. He wasn’t kicked out of his house, but there was a time when another cat was hired as chief catcher. However, after the cat was injured in a car accident, Larry returned to work.
Personality
Larry has a very capricious personality, skipping his original mission of catching rats and sleeping all the time. He said that his current routine is mostly sleeping or being a photo model. He was also briefly criticized after it was revealed that he spent more time sleeping than searching for rats and spending time with his female cat, Maisie.

Larry has served three Prime Ministers: Cameron, May and Johnson.
