Stop any action except for an Exploding Kitten or a Defuse card. Now the next player goes (unless you must take multiple turns). If you'd like, hold the deck under the table so that no one else can see where you put it. Want to screw over the player right after you? Put the Kitten right on top of the deck.

There is no maximum or minimum hand size. You won't ever run out of cards in the Draw Pile, so there's never a need to reshuffle. You can count the cards left in the Draw Pile.
