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.

How did thisd post get off the subject of repairing my speaker and go to animal cruelty? The guy wasjkoking in one of the earlier threads. Lighten up people.

I would NEVER declaw a cat. Our cat is 8 years old. Our dog lasted 14 years and my wife and I miss him every single day. Animals as pets have given my wife and I great joy.

It was MY fault for not putting the slipcover over the speakers that my wife made for them. Had I done that, the cat wouldn't have hurt my speaker. It wasn't his fault.

Please end this thread.

I also feel that Vets should not be performing speaker repair without proper training.

Keep your system in a cat free room.

Also try providing a system just for the cats so they are less tempted to disturb other systems.

1 -Personally? I would have the driver repaired professionally OR I would replace the driver.

2 -Get the cat(s) a scratching post.

A nice, tall one covered in sisal. Give the cat(s) a cat treat when they use it. Leave a couple of treats on the top of the post so they fall off when the cat uses it and you're not home. It works. Be consistent

Make sure they have lots of toys.

I have two cats - they do not mess with my things.
