Jim Conroy Jim Conroy (born September 17, 1970) is an American actor and television writer known for appearing on television shows and movies, such as ''The Cuphead Show!'', ''Jellystone!'', ''Kenny the Shark'' and '' Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman'', as well a ...
) is the host and main character of the show. Ruff does not like cats though his boss, Blossom, is an exception. Ruff thinks that dogs are superior to them in most ways. He has a crush on Charlene. Ruff grouses about his contract to produce a reality TV program, and the stresses of running one. He loves all food, American-Chinese take-out in particular. His physical appearance features "eyebrows that hover above his head". Ruff has many relatives and ancestors, many of whom have a similar appearance to him. According to the episode "Ruff Bounces Back", Ruff is a mutt and is proud of it. * Blossom, whose full name is Princess Blossom Pepperdoodle Von Yum Yum, is a black cat. Blossom never speaks even though Ruff repeats what she says to help the audience clarify what she isn't saying. At the beginning of Season 2, she was Ruff's intern, but was later promoted to being his boss in Season 3. Ruff did not enjoy Blossom's company at first, but in the later seasons forms a close bond with her. Ruff tends to drive her crazy and stress her out with his antics. Despite all the hijinks that Ruff puts her through, she continues to be loyal to Ruff and the show. Especially when she decided to 'work' for Harriet Hackensack so she could find out the reason for her hatred for dogs. In "Don't like Fencing? Try Fencing!", Blossom is watching ''Design Squad'' (and also shows that she is a fan of Nate from the show). Blossom is very intelligent and clever. Her responsibility is to keep Ruff out of trouble and serve as the voice of reason when he tries to do something crazy. * Chet, a brown mouse, is Ruff's intern. First appearing in Season 3's second episode "When Home is a House of Cards", Chet replaces Blossom when she is promoted to supervisor. He also does not speak and does not seem to have any eyes or limbs, resembling a

that runs solely on expired liver and pineapple biscuit shakes. He also does not understand figures of speech and is impulsive when Ruff tries to get him to do something. Like Blossom, Ruff did not like Chet at first but became friends with him eventually. * Henry is Ruff's boss, never seen but occasionally calling Ruff on the "Henry Hotline" (except for "Yippee Tie Yie Yay, Get along, Little Doggies"). Henry provides Ruff with the show's budget and oversees Ruff's spending. He also sent Blossom, his niece's cat, to learn about producing during Season 2. In Season 3 onward, Henry is mentioned less and less, probably because Blossom is now head of the network. Henry's last "appearance" was in the series finale, where he forced Ruff to make a worthy season finale, despite the fate of the world being on the line. It is possible that "Henry" is a reference to Henry Becton, Jr., the former President of

After the finale of Season 3, she became more involved in Ruff's business and disapproved of his current job. For example, in the Season 4 episode "Season Four is Canceled", after hearing that Ruff had been fired from his job of hosting FETCH!, she persuaded him into looking for a real job to which Ruff replied that hosting his show was a "real job" as well as informing Ruff that his brother Scruff had been selling all of his belongings online.
