If you twist it tight enough you dont need glue, some heavy duty staples will hold at the top and bottom, make sure they are flush so cant catch a claw  ;)

You may need some little nails to hold it in place while the glue sets, but yes, I would pull them out afterwards. Just don't drive them in fully.

I would probably use Aquadhere which is a water-based glue so should be pretty harmless ... You should be able to pick it up in the hardware section at the supermarket, or you can go to B&Q if you are feeling energetic.
