Is that cat in a hospital room?

Or one of those rooms for doctor exams, yeah. Indeed appears to be.

Sometimes people require medical treatments at home.

My grandma had for quite some time the visit of a nurse at home to replace a catheter. They would use one of those medical waste bins right at home with the patient in these case.

Or maybe this is just a veterinary?

Edit : probably not a vet, I dont think vets use tongue depressors.

I considered these things also, but the thing to the right (boiled water tap maybe?) has "ROOM 4" / "ROOM A" written on it which doesn't feel like it's at home.

I'm not against having a cat in a hospital, just struck me as odd.

I think there is a palliative care home near me where there are animals, which is both lovely and very sad.
