Cat damaged speaker, Help


I posted this on the Asylum, but wanted to get as many opinions as possible.

Our cat cut a slice that looks like a number "7" into the rubber surround of one of my speakers. The woofer is a 6.8" Scanspeak driver which I know is expensive to replace. The speaker seems to sound ok but the cut is bothering me. Is there any kind of glue I can use to repair it without doing more damage to the speaker, or should I just leave it alone? Any help would be appreciated.

One of many reasons a "no pets" listing is a must when buying a used speaker. If it were my speaker, I'd try to replace the driver. If I couldn't, I would let a shop repair it. Just send the driver.

When I had issues with a Legacy 20/20 tweeter, they repaired it for me free. Even sent out a box built to hold the tweeter correctly free
I suppose people incapable, or unwilling, to do(or learn to do) simple tasks for themselves, is what keeps our economy fueled(at least the repair/service sectors). Then again- there are A LOT of people out there, that should NOT be allowed to lift a hammer, plug in an appliance or squeeze a tube of glue! A good percentage of the money I've earned in my lifetime has been a result of another's ineptitude. There is great wisdom in the quote, "A man has GOT to know his limitations!" Sorry- just felt the need to use a 3rd Order Butterworth Alignment for a minute(venting).
None if this can possibly be true, all audiophiles live in a smoke free, pet free and child free environment.
And for you guys who are suggesting destroying the cat...
Adam18- Since you apparently don't understand the concept of hyperbole, here is what Webster said about it:
"the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY.
Hyperboles are exaggerations to create emphasis or effect."

Chill out, dude! (tongue in cheek, also a rhetorical device)
Adam. Do you want some cheese with that whine?

A barbecue and a bottle of Shiraz perhaps.
