Cat damaged speaker, Help

Agree with Adam
There is a simple solution that seems to work well for Vandy and Magie or most any speaker owners
Pick up a spray can of Orange Citrus spray from Bed Bathe and Beyond and a couple plastic sandwich bags.
Spray a fair amount into the Baggies and tape each one to the low back side of the speakers.
You can also spray the base low section around the speaker as well.
Cats seem not to like the orange citrus scent but pleasant to most folks with 2 legs.

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)
