'''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]].

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.

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".

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.
