I can understand pumpkin spice lattes (even if they don’t do it for me), but this makes less sense.

It’s special, all right.

Pumpkin spice lattes aren't my thing, but Howl likes his plush version (he doesn't get the real thing, because I can't imagine it'd be good for him). He also has big opinions about anyone who judges what someone else likes to drink.
A white and tabby cat in repose in the bucket portion of a cat condo, with a plush pumpkin spice latte. 

Howl the Cat says that judging him for liking them - or any human who drinks the real thing - suggests that there is a need for Howl the Himbo Chonk to sit on said offending human's head at 0300.
