Characters[edit]
Major characters[edit]
The Cat in the Hat – Voiced by Martin Short. An adventurous cat who knows a lot, but doesn't know everything. He loves to explore the world and act as Nick and Sally's guide, and he frequently speaks in rhyming patterns reminiscent of the Dr. Seuss character on which he is based.
Nick – Voiced by Jacob Ewaniuk. A seven-year-old boy. He is Sally's next door neighbor and best friend, though he is not the same boy seen in the book. He appears to be a replacement for Sally's brother (the original book's unnamed narrator, later named Conrad in the movie).
Sally – Voiced by Alexa Torrington. A six-year-old girl, the same girl seen in the book. She is Nick's next door neighbor and best friend. Apparently based on the Sally from the books.
Fish – Voiced by Rob Tinkler. A moderately pessimistic fish who is loosely based on the fish in the original story. Unlike the fish in the book, however, he is red and appears to belong to the Cat instead of Sally or Nick. He is also much more cooperative in the Cat's adventures.
Thing One and Thing Two – Also voiced by Rob Tinkler. The Cat's two zany, energetic helpers.
Sally's mom – Voiced by Tracey Hoyt. Whenever Sally asks permission to go on an adventure with the Cat, her voice is heard responding. In some episodes, she is seen.
Nick's mom – Also voiced by Tracey Hoyt. Whenever Nick asks permission to go on an adventure with the Cat, her voice is heard responding. In some episodes, she is seen. She talks with a Jamaican accent.
Animals[edit]
Zhu Zhu – Voiced by Natsuko Ohama. Zhu Zhu is a Giant Panda enlisted by the Cat, Sally, and Nick to find a present for their panda. She appears in "Bamboozled" where she lives in the forest of Bamwamabooboo.
Dahpne - A dolphin.
Fifi - A red mouse.
Ralph - Sometimes called a reindeer and sometimes called a caribou who has gray fur. In the Christmas episode, he wins the candy cane hunt and also has been stowed away in the Thingamajigger.
Buster and Brenda - Booby Birds
Betty the Beaver - Unknown Voice Actor. A Beaver who has large teeth, just like a real beaver. The Things destroyed her dam.
Betty's Friend - Voiced by Jeffery Tambor. Betty's Friend helped fix her dam. He appeared later in "The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About Christmas".
