This cartoon from Salon is just too weird not to link to, as they mock a recent "McLaughlin Group" exchange, which featured John McLaughlin telling Pat Buchanan that John McCain could die before the election, because "Death comes in, at night, on cat’s paws." Then, Andrew W.K. gets involved:
If more people under the age of 70 still watched McLaughlin, "Death comes in the night on cats' paws" would already be a catchphrase by now. WRONG!
Absolutely brilliant.

I love the phrase so much I will be painting it on my steep, straight staircase risers-where my cats actually do threaten life and limb by racing down the stairs. "death comes in the night on little cat feet!"
