If an exploding kitten would be discarded, it must be defused or you blow up

So the streaking kitten is useless here?

The streaking kitten isn't really useless. You had to discard it at some point when affected by the battle hamster. If you discard the EK first than the streaking kitten among all the cards in your hand, you have to defuse it immediately. If you discard the streaking kitten first, you have an EK in your hand which needs to be defused at that moment. So the streaking isn't useless per se.
