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 repaired the woofer without incident and the cat hasn't bothered them since. He is now too fat and old to jump up on the speakers. And for the person who said to "get a life", all I asked was if anyone knew of a product to fix the speaker. Personally, I think you are a horses ass.
I appreciate EVERYONES contribution. I thought the cat jokes were cute but I didn't take them seriously. I repaired the speaker using Locktite super adhesive which specificly states is safe for all kinds of rubber. I only used 1 drop of the glue but it spread fast. I left a fan blowing on the speaker for 8 hours and played music through them after the 8 hours. It sounds no different from the other speaker. The repair doesn't look perfect, but it sounds wonderful. I wish the manufacturer made grills for the speakers though.
How did thisd post get off the subject of repairing my speaker and go to animal cruelty? The guy wasjkoking in one of the earlier threads. Lighten up people.

I would NEVER declaw a cat. Our cat is 8 years old. Our dog lasted 14 years and my wife and I miss him every single day. Animals as pets have given my wife and I great joy.

It was MY fault for not putting the slipcover over the speakers that my wife made for them. Had I done that, the cat wouldn't have hurt my speaker. It wasn't his fault.

Please end this thread.

I like the idea of the shopping bags, probably easier to put on than the slip covers my wife made me. Thanks.........
"Would you buy a new car if you didn't have a garage?"

I have bought probably 30 new cars in my lifetime between my wife and I and I have never had a garage. What's the point?

You don't care what happens to your car."

You are quite the horses ass. FYI, there isn't room for a garage on my property. My cars are kept in excellent shape, always washed and clean and waxed twice a year. For you to make that statement that I don't care about my cars because I don't have a garage speaks volumes about how ignorant you truly are. You really are an ass.
