I've seen similar symptoms when running old, non-copyrighted game software
on 13" screens.  I never paid much attention to it, and assumed that
either the original author didn't conform to the standard interface, or
that the standard was established some time later.  I have seen it with
several programs, though never with a "Kitty-cat" face.  Also, if the
graphic is changing, all of them change the same, and they are spaced at
regular intervals across the menu bar.  Never saw one reboot, but I had to
do it anyway.
