My $20 subscription to a directory of abandoned web projects turned up a site that hasn't been updated since 1999.

I found this one page about someone's homemade cat furniture business that only had three photos of crooked scratching posts and a dead email link, and honestly it's the most entertaining thing I've clicked on in months - has anyone else dug up a weirdly specific relic like that?

Have you tried using the Wayback Machine to check if the site had more pages that just weren't linked properly? I ran into a similar thing with an old webcomic that only showed one strip, but after digging through the archive I found the whole run just had broken navigation. I'd also save those crooked scratching post photos before the site vanishes completely. Some of these old business sites have this raw handmade charm you just can't find anymore, like someone really did build those posts in their garage and believed they could make it work.

Did you actually FIND any of those broken pages in the archive or just the one that showed up first?
