I’m so excited to finally share that The Cage Comic Preservation Project is live and viewable to everyone!

For those who may not know, Cage was a Petz fan comic created by Mark J. Hadley that originally ran from around Spring 1999 to early 2001. It was hosted on Geocities and followed a small cast of lovable characters — a cat named Cage, his partner Neko, their son Fugue, and a rival dog named Ligeti.

Like so many treasures from the early web, the comic quietly disappeared after Geocities shut down. But I never forgot it. After some digging, organizing, and a whole lot of reminiscing — and discovering a preserved version on a Geocities mirror site that served adult banner ads (LOL) — I decided to rescue and preserve what I could, with care, respect, and a lot of love.

The project includes:

• The history of the comic and intent of the preservation
• A full archive of all 64 available comic strips
• A character guide with images and bios

This project is now part of The Petz Warehouse, alongside the final version of the Breed Makers Guild from 1999 — I felt it belonged in the same lovingly dusty corner of the Petz web.

If you remember this comic, I hope this brings back warm memories. If you’re discovering it for the first time, I hope it brings a smile.
