The iron, a Monopoly game piece for 78 years, is being replaced.

The Facebook votes are in — the iron is out to make room for a cat. Not immediately, however. Hasbro, which has made Monopoly games since the 1930s, will keep including the iron until the end of the year, according to a story in the New York Times.

The cat got the highest number of votes among five possible new tokens, beating out a robot, guitar, helicopter and diamond ring.
