{{Article Quote|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]].  
 
'''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]].


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.

However, the pictures of the "cat" are actually pictures of an opossum as a reference to an [http://www.cfzaustralia.com/2011/02/taxonomy-fails-infamous-cat-found.html Internet meme].

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

*A similar poster can half be seen in the trash on the the left side of  Foundry facing the fans. You can see a picture of a cat and the word "missing" and "onesy", which is believed to say "Jonesy".
*The poster can be seen on several other boards throughout the level, the [[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]].
*Jonesy is an obvious reference to Lt. Ripley's cat of the same name on the commercial towing ship, the ''Nostromo'', from the movie franchise ''[[Wikipedia:Alien (franchise)|Alien]]''. [[Bungie]] has been theorized to have borrowed many aspects from ''Alien'' and its sequels as a basis for the ''Halo'' series.
