{{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]].

Jonesy is assumed to have died either during the [[Battle of Installation 04]], during the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Boarding Party|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.
