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.

Not sure why you would want them reconed when the surround has a tear. I would contact the manufacturer and find out what a replacement would cost. 7" Scan speak drivers are avaialable from supply houses for around $160-$225 per driver depending on the model. I would expect the manufacturer cost to be about the same.
