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.

Not sure why you would want them reconed when the surround has a tear. I would contact the manufacturer and find out what a replacement would cost. 7" Scan speak drivers are avaialable from supply houses for around $160-$225 per driver depending on the model. I would expect the manufacturer cost to be about the same.

I will try that recipe from the first response. Their is no love lost between me and my girlfriend's cat. Although her cat stays away from my speakers it terrorizes my little shih tzu which by the way is a better companion than that damn cat.
