A medical procedure unfolds on a dark green cloth surface. The main focus is on a white gauze pad that holds four newly born kittens, varying in color from dark to reddish. A pair of hands, clad in white gloves, is visible. They use surgical scissors to cut the umbilical cord connecting the placenta to one of the kittens. Several surgical instruments, including scissors and forceps, are scattered around on the green cloth. The overall scene suggests a post-operative veterinary procedure.
