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?

Back in the 1990s my wife had a bulimic cat, Cocoa.  Cocoa leaped on top of our Lexicon DC1 pre/pro and vomited through the vents onto a circuit board.  Repairs cost $450.00, 

I have a pair of DIY Dynaudio towers, Myrages, with D76 three inch dome midranges in my basement system.  The domes are very sticky and attract dust and cat hair like magnets attract iron filings.  I have had good luck using drafting tape, similar to masking tape but less sticky, cleaning them.
