"Monopoly will add the cat token to its popular, long-running board game, replacing the iron. Last month, Hasbro let fans vote on Facebook for which of the five suggested pieces they would like to see introduced, in addition to which of the existing eight should be saved.  After 250,000 responses, it was announced this morning (February 6) on Today that the cat managed 31% of the total vote, beating the robot in second place as well as the ring, helicopter and guitar. Meanwhile, the iron picked up the least amount of support, losing out to the dog, race car, battleship, top hat, thimble, boot and wheelbarrow. The vote to save reportedly went down to the wire, as the iron - which was only backed by 8% of votes - was tying in last place with the boot and wheelbarrow last night (February 5). The dog topped the &amp;#039;save&amp;#039; poll with 29%, with the top hat in second place.  Votes came from 185 different countries in the end. For Britons, the thimble was the least popular existing token, while in America, the boot was bottom. Eric Nyman, senior vice-president and global brand leader for Hasbro Gaming, said: &amp;quot;We know that cat lovers around the world will be happy to welcome the new cat token into the Monopoly game. &amp;quot;While we&amp;#039;re a bit sad to see the iron go, the cat token is a fantastic choice by the fans and we have no doubt it will become just as iconic as the original tokens.&amp;quot;  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
