The cat token won a vote on Facebook and will join the other tokens in the game of Monopoly, Associated Press reported Wednesday.

People from 120 countries had to choose from a robot, a diamond ring, a guitar and a helicopter. The cat was it, according to AP.

"Our fans are very passionate about their tokens, about which token they use while they play," said Jonathan Berkowitz, vice president for Hasbro gaming marketing.

This was the first time the fans had a say on what tokens were in the game, AP reported.
