What charge builds up on a cat and rubber boots when rubbed together?

[Hrtbrkcty]

A cat rubs against a pair of rubber boots. What charge is found on both? Explain.

Is all rubber non conductive or would I say the cat has a negative charge and the boots a positive charge? Thank you.

It must be positive. The initially neutral cat becomes a cation.

Lol, and this process is known as cationization.
