When you pronounce them, are they homonyms?
Vote yes/no.

(there isn't a right answer, I'm curious).

I was thinking of the vowel, not the t at the end although that is somewhat interesting.

"caaaaht" sounds like someone from Boston saying "cart", "cawwwwt" sounds like an Asian trying to say "cart" :P

it depends on what type of accent you put on it.

e.g. in boston they would sound exactly the same

hell no they don't rhyme

btw for english people, barmy and salami rhyme (like they had ads rhyming these two) so I'd ignore flamey

other words that english people think rhyme: barcelona, car

The dictionary is only representative of more "traditional" pronunciations and not what actually happens. Otherwise people in Mississippi would speak exactly the same as people in Washington.

I thought you meant you say cot as coat, and caught as caught :P That was throwing me for a loop there :)

in English UK :
caught sounds like court
cot sounds like kot

though, i've just listened to the american pronunciation of cot and caught - and i can't tell the difference.
