> picture of a cat

I couldn't find this elusive picture of a cat on archive.org, but I found this dog instead:

June 2016 appears to be when Amazon adopted the current error pages with the large dog images.

Thanks to both of you for this heartwarming bit. How do you go about finding something like that?

Quite manually, actually. I ran an image search on DDG for "Amazon 404 cat" and looked through the results for a kid's drawing.

I really like the look of that browser, which is it? Netscape?

I misremembered the dog, it looks like they first replaced it with a ?⃝ icon. A later snapshot has the image name[0] but not the image[1].

mastry found a screenshot of the image in his sibling reply.
