Quick spruce please?

[chinakay]

This is Tom, my great grandfather. It's an unusual photo, a portrait that includes the family cat. I'm a cat lover and I just love this photo! Wish I knew the cat's name.

Could someone just do a quick spot removal, please? I'm guessing at about 1910 or so for a date, OR, what do you think?

Also, is that a mourning button he is wearing? I tried to do a closeup but it isn't very clear.

Cheers,
China

Lovely Sharon, Pete. Thank you both, they're beautiful cleanups.

I'm thinking this picture was taken after Tom's wife died. He looks very mournful, doesn't he.

Thanks again,
China
