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.

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.

Your post caused me to investigate, just for fun. I used Parts Express for some old garage speakers, but yours are much nicer. I found a website that is interesting but I have not used them. They sell an adhesive just for this purpose as well as re-foam kits for many speakers.

Good luck.
