''MISSING: Calico cat - answers to: Jonesy''
'''Jonesy''' (sometimes '''Jonesey''') is a collection of Easter eggs referring to a supposed calico [[cat]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. It is presented as if a pet of someone on board the ''Pillar of Autumn'' which would have been on board during the [[Fall of Reach]].
 
In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', Jonesy's owner had lost the cat by the time the ''Pillar of Autumn'' reached [[Installation 04]] and put notices on the [[bulletin board]] and various other ''Pillar of Autumn'' boards to alert other personnel to the lost cat.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', [[campaign]] level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> In ''[[Halo 3]]'', there are posters reading "Still missing my cat Jonesey," with an apparent silhouette of a cat in the bottom right hand side of the poster.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Crow's Nest]]''</ref> A similar poster can half be seen in the trash on the left side of ''[[Foundry]]'' facing the fan.

==Trivia==
'''Jonesy''' is the supposed name of a calico [[cat]] carried on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. It was probably a pet of someone onboard the ''Autumn'' and was onboard during the [[Battle of Reach]] and when the Autumn reached [[Installation 04]]. [[Image:PoAPoster.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Bulletin Board on the [[Pillar of Autumn]]. The flier for Jonesy can be seen in the middle.]] However, Jonesy's owner had lost him by then, although he put notices on the [[Bulletin Board]] to alert other personnel to the lost cat. Jonesy is assumed to have died during the [[Battle of Installation 04]] either during the [[Covenant]] boarding, when the Autumn crashed, the Flood Invasion, or when [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]] initiated the catastrophic wildcat destabilization of ''The Pillar of Autumn''`s engines that destroyed Installation 04. 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.

*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". Many aspects of ''Halo'' were [[List of references to Aliens in Halo|inspired by elements from the ''Alien'' franchise]].

{{Ref/Sources}}
The placement of a Colon in the sentence suggests that the ad is telling the viewer to ask "Jonesy". This would mean that those searching for the cat would have to ask "Jonesy" for an answer, ie. "what does he look like".


{{Easter Egg}}
This would make more sence in how Jonesy would constantly be referenced as missing after the events of Installation 04. This would suggest that Jonesy is the owner and survived the battle.

*Jonesy is a direct reference to the cat Jonesy from the first two [[Alien]] films.
[[Category:Halo 3 Easter eggs]]
*On the level "Crows 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". So the owner is likely to still be alive.
*A similar poster can half be seen in the rubble on High Ground. You can see a picture of a cat and the word "missing" and "onesy" which is more than likely just "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. Individuals in military service can't own a pet whilst deployed, but 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.
*The poster can be seen on several other boards throughout the level.
