RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne, and I for one will miss the tiny iron, even if the Monopoly token replacing it is, OK, a cat. The new Monopoly games hitting store shelves contains a sleek kitty, who will join the classic Scottie dog and top hat.

It's MEOW-Y EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
