Trivia

 * Jonesy is a direct reference to the cat Jonesy from the first two Alien films.
 * On the level "Crows Nest" in Halo 3, there is a pile of rubbish located near the toilets in the level. One of the pieces of rubbish is a note which is half covered up, but reads "Still missing my cat Jonesy".
 * A similar poster can half be seen in the rubbish on High Ground. You can see a picture of a cat and the word "missing" and "onesy" which is more than likely just "Jonesy".
 * Many people think that the owners name is Jonesy, and that its name is Calico because of what the poster said - Missing, Calico cat - all answers to Jonesy.
 * It's probable because of the note in Crows Nest that the cat was actually owned by a surviving Pillar of Autumn marine (Dubbo, Stacker , Johnson , etc.)
 * Although intended as a mere easter egg, Jonsey may be the ships mascot. Although individuals in military service can't own a pet whilst deployed, ships and even planes have been known to have animals such as dogs and cats as mascots.
 * On the Pillar of Autumn, one poster can be found in the hall just outside the Bridge.
