Jones (sometimes referred as Jonesy) was a cat, specifically a ginger tabby domestic shorthair tom, kept aboard the USCSS Nostromo. Jones was owned by Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley. Jones and Ripley were the only two to survive the Nostromo incident caused by a Xenomorph and the ship's subsequent destruction.
History
The Intruder
Jones was nearly killed by the Alien who had erupted violently from Officer Kane's body after being impregnated by a Facehugger. Jones later came up on the motion tracker made by Ash. Ripley and Parker sent Brett to catch Jones. When Brett finally caught up with Jones in a cargo room, he started to try to coax the cat out to make sure it didn't set off the motion tracker again. Jones noticed the strange silhouette behind Brett and began to hiss. By the time Brett turned around, the creature attacked him and carried him up into the air ducts with Jones witnessing the ordeal. Jones was attacked by the alien when Ripley left him in his cage, but the alien left him alone because he was too small to sustain a host. He was put in cryo-sleep after escaping the Nostromo with Ripley.
57 Years later
Ripley and Jones remained in cryostasis for 57 years. The salvage crew that picked them up initially thought the unusual readings from the cryotube was that of an alien life form, but visual inspection revealed to them that they were simply reading the human and feline sets of DNA as one organism. After their recovery, they were reunited in the hospital of Gateway Station by Carter Burke. Jones then went to stay with Ripley at her new apartment. When Ripley must return to LV-426, she fondly curses him and says, "You're staying here". It is unclear what became of Jones after Ripley's assignment to the USS Sulaco and subsequent death on Fiorina 161.
