murder mittens
Feline retractable daggers
Murder mittens is an affectionate internet term for a cat's paws, especially when the claws are extended or kneading.
The phrase playfully acknowledges that the same soft, adorable paws can inflict real damage: Look at those murder mittens going to town on my sweater.
The humor lies in the contrast between cuddly appearance and predatory equipment.
