{{Article Quote|MISSING: Calico cat - answers to: Jonesy}}
'''Jonesy''' is the supposed name of a calico [[cat]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. It was probably a pet of someone on board the ''Autumn'' and was on board during the [[Battle of Reach]] and when the Autumn reached [[Installation 04]].


However, Jonesy's owner had lost her by then, although he put notices on the [[Bulletin Board]] <ref>[[Bulletin Board]]</ref> to alert other personnel to the lost cat. Jonesy is assumed to have died either during the [[Battle of Installation 04]], during the [[Covenant]] boarding, when the Autumn crashed, the [[Flood]] Invasion, or when [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]] initiated the catastrophic  destabilization of ''The Pillar of Autumn''`s engines that destroyed Installation 04. But in Halo 3, there are posters for a cat by the name of Jonesy, which may be a hint that she is still alive. However, for a cat to have survived that long is extremely unlikely. There is also an apparent silhouette of a cat in the bottom right hand side of the poster, although it could be a black cat.

*On the level [[Crow's Nest (level)|Crow's Nest]] in Halo 3, there is a pile of garbage 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". This is most likely an Easter Egg.
*Jonesy is a reference to the cat named Jonesy on the commercial towing ship, the ''Nostromo'', from the movie franchise ''[[Wikipedia:Alien (franchise)|Alien]]''. One scene in the movie has characters go looking for the cat, affectionately calling it "Jonesy".

[[Bungie]] has been theorized to have borrowed many aspects from ''Alien'' and its sequels as a basis for the ''Halo'' series.
