Meet Mr. Grumps: Upper Room Prints' Grumpy Cat Character
Oh, you again. Fine, I'll talk. But make it quick. I have a nap scheduled in approximately seven minutes, and if you make me late, I'll file a complaint... with myself.
Mr. Grumps Character Bio: The Grumpy Orange Cat
Name: Mr. Grumps
Species: Orange cat (yes, that kind)
Personality: Perpetually unimpressed, occasionally dramatic, always correct
Mood: Grumpy. Always. Don't ask again.
Secret Weakness: Soft blankets and warm tea (but if you tell anyone, I'll claw your favorite chair)
Who I Am (Not That You Asked)
I'm a perpetually unimpressed orange cat with a soft spot for comfort and a deep dislike of small talk. I didn't choose this aesthetic life; it chose me. And honestly, it could've picked someone with more patience.
Known for my deadpan humor and general disinterest in everything, I've somehow become the face of Upper Room Prints' brand of cozy realism and cottagecore aesthetic. I'd like to think it's because I'm relatable. Others say it's because I look like everyone's Monday morning.
Beneath my sharp wit and unimpressed stare, I'm deeply loyal to those I consider part of my circle, though I would never admit it out loud. I prefer rainy afternoons, warm tea, and staying out of the chaos I constantly find myself surrounded by.
Not that anyone listens. All my products are handmade with care in Maryland, because apparently quality matters to other people.

Mr. Grumps' Role in Upper Room Prints Cottagecore Universe
I'm the realist. The voice of reason. The one who points out that maybe, just maybe, we don't need another floral sticker sheet when there are already seventeen in production.
While Gertrude is out there planting things and being optimistic, and Myrtle is knocking over paint jars, I'm the one reminding everyone that chaos is not, in fact, a business model. Someone has to keep this operation grounded. Might as well be me.
I balance out the overly cheerful energy around here. You need a grumpy being to keep things real. That's just science.
Things I Tolerate (Barely)
- Rainy afternoons (mostly because no one's outside bothering me)
- Warm tea (with a splash of cream, if you're offering and not talking)
- Soft blankets (preferably the ones you were just using)
- Quiet moments where no one is asking me questions
- Being left alone (seriously, it's my love language)
Things I Do NOT Tolerate
- Mornings
- Overly cheerful people before 10 AM (or after, honestly)
- Small talk
- Being called "cute" (I'm distinguished, thank you very much)
- Myrtle's constant chatter (love her, but wow)
- Questions about my feelings
Why People Like Me (Apparently)
According to Linnie, people relate to my "vibe." Something about being tired, sarcastic, and just trying to get through the day with minimal human interaction.
I get it. The world is a lot. Sometimes you just need a grumpy orange cat on a sticker to validate your feelings. Congratulations, you found him.
I'm here for the introverts, the overthinkers, the neurodivergent folks who need three business days to recover from social events. I see you. I am you. Now leave me alone.
My cottagecore stationery is perfect for people who appreciate cozy aesthetics but also need their space. It's neurodivergent friendly stationery that gets it.
