Mr. Jones was top cat, that was, until Malfi got here.

They are all 'afraid' of Malfi. He's got a huge low voice, and they don't know what to think of it. And Malfi will swat anyone who gets to close.
Mr. Jones will give Malfi a 'wide berth' when he walks be, so I think Mr. Jones has been de-throned by a 7.5lb little old guy.
