Ribbon Tweeters and Animal Hair

I recently purchased a pair of Ascend Sierra 2-EX (with RAAL ribbon tweeter) and have been keeping the grills on in fear of issues with pet hair. I have 2 cats and a dog. 

I hate to cover up what I think is a unique looking speaker and beautiful woofer but want to keep them protected. Am I safer to keep the grills up, or is that being overly cautious?

Meant with the grills off, not without, stupid typing.

@oldhvymecI have the sierra towers with the raal ribbons. It's my first pair of ribbons so I can't compare. They are different from the ones on the sierra 2s. Aleksander Raal built the ones for the towers solely for David Fabrikant, owner of Ascend acoustics. You may want to pay them attention, they are everything I ever wanted in sound, uber clarity yet not harsh, lifelike sounding of anything high trebles.

It depends on room acoustics. I used to like them better without the grills off in my old room, but now in my new house of stereo room, with plenty of diffusers, they sound more natural with the grills on.
