<p>The <a href="https://explodingkittens.com/how-to-play/streaking-kittens" rel="noreferrer">streaking kitten expansion</a> introduces the streaking kitten card, it allows a player to keep one (and only one) kitten in her hand:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>Streaking Kitten 1 Card</strong></p>
  
  <p>While this card is in your hand, you can also secretly hold 1
  Exploding Kitten without exploding.</p>
  
  <p>But...</p>
  
  <p>If the Streaking Kitten leaves your hand for any reason, the Exploding
  Kitten in your hand will explode.</p>
  
  <p>If another player steals or receives an Exploding Kitten from your

  <p>If you take any action causing you to play an Exploding Kitten from
  your hand into the Discard Pile, you explode. You must defuse it or
  lose the game.</p>
  
  <p>IMPORTANT - Streaking Kittens and Exploding Kittens can not be used
  with the 5 Card Special Combo. This means you can't use either of them

  <p>Why? Because it breaks the game. Don't break the game...the game loves

<li>The player with the streaking kitten card collected more than a single kitten. <em>A streaking kitten card only let you keep one kitten.</em></li>
<li>The streaking kitten card was stolen, enabling an other player to collect a kitten, but the original kitten "forgot" to explode. <em>If you lose the streaking kitten card while holding a kitten, it explodes.</em></li>

The [streaking kitten expansion](https://explodingkittens.com/how-to-play/streaking-kittens) introduces the streaking kitten card, it allows a player to keep one (and only one) kitten in her hand:

If for example, there are 4 players. Using streaking kittens expansion, the deck has 4 kittens. The moment you are running out of cards, 4 kittens must have been played of which at most one is streaking at one of the players. The other 3 kittens must have been exploded eliminating 3 players. So there is only one player left who is the winner.

This can only occur if something went wrong:

* You put 3 kittens in the deck. *This expansion adds one kitten for each player.*
* A defused kitten is discarded. *Defused kittens are put back in the draw pile.*
* The player with the streaking kitten card collected more than a single kitten. *A streaking kitten card only let you keep one kitten.*
* The streaking kitten card was stolen, enabling an other player to collect a kitten, but the original kitten "forgot" to explode. *If you lose the streaking kitten card while holding a kitten, it explodes.*
