Reno thinks it makes an excellent men's aftershave. He wears it well.
Alex is... well, Alex is pretty clear what he thinks.
Simba is a "no", Running Bear is an enthusiastic "yes".
Leopard tries Marmite for the first time
Sundari is an "Oh my god, what the hell is this flavor"
Jumanji agrees with Reno.

Why do I feel compelled to bathe myself in marmite as well?

Wait... isn't this Carol Fucking Baskins place?

Proof cats are more intelligent then humans
NuttyYah
Excellent study. Well sourced material.
BigTittyGothKitty
I've been to this place years ago! Its amazing!
GoombaLord
If Marmite is anything like Vegemite, then I'm with Alex.
asm80dfa8sdfj
It's extremely similar in large scope, but in small scope it's quite different.

The first one -"I'm gonna taste so delicious later"
vrooom666
Do they like it being in 'box' aka zoo?
jnhermit
Wow! This was prior to Tiger King. Wonder what the kitties thought of Carol baskins' husband?
Codyak
Carole Baskin. Killed her, husband, whacked him. CAROLE BASKIN.
nitinjoshi
Ladies like it and guys put it on as aftershave
CowboyScientist
Except Alex. Alex is NOT a fan.
spinalterror36
Carol!?!!
Dingmeatgroup
Jumanji is too cute.
Cavemango
What is that stench? It's fantastic!
SithRuleOfTwo
Do they like what?
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
Marmite is a yeast extract, you can add small amounts to soup, stews, or spread small amounts on toast.
italyball
It seems that besides eating it, they run their neck with it, which is what my dog does with nasty stuff to make him smell wild....

“Marmite, Love it or Hate it” really is the most accurate slogan ever.

AinoTiani
Me and my mum love it. All my siblings hate it.
Cebrail
Sundari is amazing :D
PsykerKitty
Vegemite is better.
harrykiri
can we make this into a series.
Noodlesama
I like marmite and it always makes me sad when people try it online and COVER the bread with it. You need like a quarter of a teaspoon
SendNoodss
That bitch Carole Baskins...on my good christian feed?!
ThePerks2010
If I blacked myself up with marmite would I only be hated by half the people?
ResearchByJoe
Marmite? American here
CowboyScientist
It's a spread made from the yeast left over from beer brewing: very strong flavor of "umami". Think "Worcestershire Sauce concentrate".
swwweeeeee1877
This place is really awesome. Not only do they house big cats that are unable to be put back into the wild..but they also do lots of work 1

2 trying to change the laws of owning exotic animals. Actually the room you enter right as the tour ends, is nothing but walls covered in 2

3 the senators, congressmen, various other political fucks with their numbers so you can bother them.

I have not stopped laughing at the gif with sandari. I've been giggling for 10 minutes now
BuffingtonRumbleberries
It's a great gif I've seen before but never had the context.
aesthesia1
Big cat stinky face <3
ThatGirlWithTheStuff
That made me giggle like an idiot at 3:30 AM. +1 to you.
Direfury
I saw that one FOREVER ago, and couldn't stop laughing. Think I've got another one you might like.
Direfury
I fucking love how his tail goes totally rigid when he gets startled.
TrickJames
That's the exact face my cat makes after chewing on plastic
cellphonecat
My cat makes it when he puts his head into our guests shoes
mbr5
Mine does it when smelling his piss ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
BingleyBingleyBeep
It's called the Flehman response, and allows them to activate extra receptors so they can get the most from a scent.
Cerinna
Flehmen* (it's not a name) and it can definitely be done in disgust or pain as well.
BingleyBingleyBeep
I learned something; thank you.
Cerinna
Not a problem! :) I had to look at how reliable it was to predict pain in horses (not at all) for my research, so myeah.
itwasbuilticame
big cats don't belong in zoos
Owngina
I watched these gifs over and over and then I noticed the cages. Cages aren’t cool
ergis81391
This is big cat rescue out of Tampa, FL not a zoo. The dude from Cole and Marmalade use to work there.
itwasbuilticame
to the downers: i didn't say they shouldn't be in zoos. cat rescues are often net benefit. just they don't belong there. /1
itwasbuilticame
it is not a true, proper home, and images like these should acknowledge that.
PinkGhoul
A lot of their cats used to be owned by irresponsible buyers who thought they'd make great pets and then surrendered them. A few came from(1
PinkGhoul
Fur making places and were rescued. Reno used to be in a circus, before he was taken there. I've visited this place a couple times.(2/2)
PinkGhoul
At least I think Reno is the one I'm thinking of. They said he used to "drive" a carriage as a stage act. But believe me, the rescue would
PinkGhoul
Prefer them to be wild and free, but they take care of them because the cats no longer know how to take care of themselves without people
Tassyr
Ah Marmite. Salt Paste made of Salt and possibly Paste. I will never understand how people can eat that stuff.
Deadpoolio7
It’s basically all I’ve had in sandwiches my entire life. Love the stuff. Oh god it’s good on toast.
Tassyr
Do you also drink seawater? It's about as salty.
GenericPotato
When the UK version was banned in Canada my dad hit all local stores to stock up on Marmite. He had 30 some bottles to ration after that....
AinoTiani
Why was it banned?
OuchYoureonmyhair
I've never tasted it because I'm afraid it will taste hope it smells. It's wrong.
Tassyr
IT TASTES LIKE SALT.
echoechoecho
Delicious salt
FelixxArgyle
No one should ever eat Marmite. Vegemite is where it's at.
DrFlammenwerfen
Meh, cool guys eat thermite.
HarryBosch
AinoTiani
I like both but Vegemite is milder and probably easier for a first timer
killerjerick
Definitely, I grew up on Vegemite, someone one day convinced me to try marmite, what the fuck is that shit? It tastes like fucking coal.
Churmybro
You can fuck back of to Australia. Kindly.
FelixxArgyle
Oh go have a toss, ya cunt
Caltivo
Haha, absolute legend!
MemeDissector
YOU'RE PROBABLY EATING IT WRONG. U GOTTA MAKE A PIECE OF TOAST, COAT IT IN BUTTER, AND PUT A TINY AMOUNT ON, THEN SPREAD IT.
Churmybro
Yo straight up that's my breakfast everyday. Just like that
AinoTiani
When I was a kid we used to spread it cm thick and date each other to eat it. I love it. I have it on toast every day for breakfast 10 yrs
AinoTiani
Dare even! Damn autocorrect!
Tassyr
Or eat something other than straight salt.
MemeDissector
it ain't straight salt yo, you're straight salty that you can't appreciate the finest condiment to grace this floating rock or eat it right.
BigTea
Ok so I mad a piece of toast and spread the largest amount on it when I first tried it. That actually sounds reasonable.
BigTea
Fuuuuuck. I made a type o.
AinoTiani
I told my brother it was blueberry jam the first time he had it ????

Okay, I'll bite. Why?

I read the article to find out: BCR is trying to take big cats from zoos and put them into sanctuaries, where they won't be allowed to breed

Is there a TL;DR version?
CowboyScientist
Got it. Some facilities compete with legitimate rescue and breeding programs. Good feedback.
