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.

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.
