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 have in storage a pair of Dynaco A 50's with Seas drivers. I used a piece of tissue paper with a little adhesive on both sides the driver and it has held for over 14 years and counting. The tissue is very light unlike rubber, etc. You cannot throw the balance of the voice coils off or you will hear rubbing or worse.
Bill Legall at Millersound can replace it for you and he does a wonderful job. Google Millersound. Turn down your speaker volume on your computer the sound in the beginning could be loud.
