Nice. That would also account for the "killing cats, however, arrives knowledge." Maybe Elysian park is next?
Elysian or Griffith, I think. Griffith Park is the home of both the new Zoo and the Bronson Caves. You cross a red bridge to get to the cave. Could be the "caves of blood."

Mnemosyne was also in the "clue". She had 9 children by the greek god Zeus. Just a connection I found right now
Yup, the Muses. And in the Underworld, the dead would choose to drink from either the River Lethe (to forget the past life and be reborn) or the Spring of Mnemosyne (to remember and move on to the Eylsian Fields).
When the Old L.A. Zoo was being closed down in the 1960s, there was debate over whether to move it. One proposed location was Elysian Park.
Also, during WWI, the zoo had to feed horse meat to the great cats, and nearly all of them died.
Also, 9 dots are drawn on the table picture. It might matter. And there are 9 grammatical.. things, in the text. (Lack of english vocabulary.). Commas etc.
So I'm guessing we sort of divide the text into 10 different words or something like that. O.o Just a hunch.

There is a math term for attaining an equation answer that is labeled as 'Not a Number' but I dunno much about it.... maybe he could be referring to something like that?

I got nothin'. A part of me is thinking that there's either information missing... or the Jester is hiding the answer in plain sight, and the answer, literally, is 'Not a Number'.
I don't know why, but the first thing that comes to mind is earthquake magnitudes.
You know, that makes perfect sense; if the riddles are meant to be connected. Earthquakes, storms...

The above was me, forgot to login after registering.
Also, on the Jester's Twitter:

Precious secrets fear boldness. Hear silence beam -- hold, sit beneath Mnemosyne. Milligrams prevent peering names, captured persons, caves of blood. Killing cats, however, arrives knowledge.
Mnemosyne is were we get mnemonic, but I can't get a good one from it. Also, the clue(?) is a picture of a table with spots on it. Clue?
For some reason, the last bit (bolded up above) makes me think of 'Curiosity killed the cat'. That's all I can come up with, currently, when there's too much blood in my caffiene system.

As these are cryptic clues maybe that "doodle" is meant to represent the periodic table? Agree the phrases look like mnemonics tho they're NOT the one for the elements or the anatomical ones I learned way back when.
