The most unusual Kate reference I've found is in Terry Pratchett's book 'Eric'.
In a footnote he describes how matter is brought into the universe:

---------8<----------
"Many people think it should have been a hydrogen molecule, but this is against  
the observed facts. Everyone who has found a hitherto unknown egg-whisk jamming  
an innocent kitchen drawer knows that raw matter is continually flowing into the  
universe in fairly developed forms, popping into existence normally in ashtrays,  
vases and glove compartments. It chooses its shape to allay suspicion, and common  
manifestations are paperclips, the pins out of shirt packaging, the little keys  
for central heating radiators, marbles, bits of crayon, mysterious sections of  
herb-chopping devices and old Kate Bush albums. Why matter does this is unclear,  
but it is evident that matter has Plans.
"It is also apparent that creators sometimes favour the Big Bang method of  
universe construction, and at other times use the more gentle methods of  
Continuous Creation. This follows studies by cosmotherapists which have revealed  
that the violence of the Big Bang can give a universe serious psychological  
problems when it gets older."
