May I suggest it is not the salt that animals appreciate in Marmite, but the
yeast. The continuing popularity of Vetzyme/Kitzyme/Rabzyme tablets with the
appropriate animals would point to this.

I had a cat who not only adored Marmite but who seemed to be able to detect
from a great distance the tin of dried yeast being opened for bread-making.
There would be no peace until she had had a few grains of the stuff. In her
early teens she required hormone replacement therapy. The yeast-flavoured
tablets went down with no difficulty, unlike the worm pills that are such a
necessary part of a cat’s life. Pharmaceuticals companies, please take note.
