For of the giant Monopoly Cat London sightings in classic Monopoly locations, Hamley's Toy Store and its arrival at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home (and the dogs' reactions!) please click here.

The Cat's arrival follows a month of voting on Facebook earlier this year, and an overwhelming response from fans and organisations from 185 countries around the world. The cat has been chosen to replace the Iron and has become the newest addition to the classic game from Hasbro.

"We know that cat lovers around the world will be happy to welcome the new cat token into the MONOPOLY game," said Eric Nyman , senior vice president and global brand leader for Hasbro Gaming. "While we'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."
