> 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.

Maybe this is it?

Wow, now that is a screenshot full of nostalgia... Nice find.

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?

That’s the one!

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.
