I'm hoping this was a joke and not real. Hopefully they have blocked the corner or the cat is never actually doing that.

Yeah, this is a "train the cat to stay away with a spray bottle" type situation, not a "put up a sign and hope for the best" one.

I certainly hope so. Cats can be so quiet too so definitely hope this was just a constructed situation.

Nah, just duct-tape something flexible and non-scratchable over the gap. Attach this picture nearby for when people ask why.

In a situation like this it's better to discourage the behaviour entirely than to play a game of ever increasing barricades. Training the cat to not get into things it shouldn't is much more worthwhile than having to baby proof each individual thing.
