'''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/she put notices on the bulletin board<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]'' (bulletin board)''</ref> to alert other personnel to the lost cat.
