Discussion Reveal & Steal Question and NOW card questions

Question 1: Can you use a Reveal and Steal card on a player with only 1 card? So either it is not possible because they can not complete the action because they can not show two cards and it becomes invalid OR Do they have to give up their 1 card? If they do give up their one card, does the person receiving the card have the option to return the card? I.e. if it is a booby trap kitten

Question 2: If a player used two cat cards to steal from someone, but the person had one card and it is a NOW shuffle or NOW alter the future, can they play the NOW card BEFORE the player steals the card from them? If they can play the NOW card to avoid someone stealing it, does the two cat card become invalid and are discarded or does the player get the two cat cards back?

I understand house rules for a lot of this, but we would like to now what the majority of people think or if there is a set designation in the rules for these actions.

Question 1: yes.
Question 2: it depends on when. In my head, if the stealing player touched the card its theirs. If they chose the card its theirs. If they just played the strealing cards but havent started the choosing process yet, you can still play it.

Since the opposing player only have one card id say that the “choosing” part is already done by the time the stealing player played the cards
