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.

You really do need to leap into action and do something about this. I'd suggest maybe something like Asian Barbeque sauce for marinade, then fire up the grill and maybe match your Toasted Tabby with some fava beans and a nice Chianti...
...then find a good spot in the backyard to bury the remnants of the little scratcher. and no headstone for him....
You might be able to have the driver repaired by having the surround replaced.
I'd try a little piece of tire tube patch (or other thin rubber) and rubber cement to seal the area... preferably to the back of the surround. Just pull the driver out to apply. Can't hurt to try it!
