As odd as it looks that is normal procedure... the loose hairs need to be removed so they don't contaminate the surgical site. And the ties are necessary to keep the cat from moving during the procedure. (and they DO move even under full anesthetic!)
Even if cats are tied for surgery, which I have no doubt is true ... nothing else makes sense.
I have a really hard time believing a vet uses a dustbuster in the operating room. I'm obviously not a vet, so I could be wrong, but I really don't see a surgeon using a dustbuster!
The setting of this photo is not a sterile operating room, a veterinarian's clinic. I see nothing that makes me think this cat is anywhere NEAR a vet's office. And, going out on a limb again here, but I don't think vet techs are suddenly twelve year old boys in street clothes with dustbusters.
Come on!

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
