An X post on May 15 directed users to a Mercari Shops listing for a large do-it-yourself cat cage kit, promoting a product pitched around quick assembly and escape prevention. The linked listing on Mercari remained live on May 16 and described the item as a configurable indoor cat cage for kittens, adult cats and senior cats. Mercari’s page listed the product at ¥12,830, including shipping, and marked the condition as “new, unused.” The seller name on the listing was YOU, with shipping shown from Mie Prefecture in Japan and an estimated dispatch window of four to seven days. ### Which listing was tied to the X post? The Mercari Shops page identified the product as a “large” cat cage that could be built in one to four tiers. The listing headline said the cage was easy to assemble and came with four assembly videos, and it described the product as suitable for indoor use with anti-escape features. The Mercari page also said the cage was intended to provide space for play, rest, kitten rearing and temporary isolation. (jp.mercari.com) The description framed the design as adjustable to room size and layout, with multiple doors and switch parts included. ### What exactly did the seller say was included? Mercari’s description said the cage used 35-centimeter by 35-centimeter polypropylene panels and iron mesh panels with a spray coating. (jp.mercari.com) The listing said the package included three doors and “switch parts,” along with 200 cable ties measuring 0.415 centimeters. The seller also said the structure was designed so owners could reconfigure the enclosure to match available space. (jp.mercari.com) The listing said the upper levels could be used as elevated play or rest areas, while the lower section had room for larger items such as a litter box or cat sofa. ### How did the listing describe safety and escape prevention? (jp.mercari.com) The Mercari page said the cage had an 8-kilogram load capacity and was built for stability as well as safety. The description said the mesh and connectors were intended to resist movement and loosening during use. A 3.8-centimeter gap design was one of the listing’s main safety claims. (jp.mercari.com) The seller said that spacing was meant to help prevent kittens from escaping while also reducing the risk of paws or claws getting caught. ### What do the price and condition details show?
