It really does look very different to the subspecies of Marbled Cat in Malaysia and the Greater Sundas. I can see why there is a temptation to split them into two species.
Yes I can see it too. I would say the visual difference between this cat and the other marbled cats is as great or greater than the difference between the two (now full species) clouded leopards.
Looks like Taiping Zoo in Malaysia has gotten a marbled cat! If you search Instagram with the #zootaiping hashtag you'll see a few more photos of the cat and the exhibit.

。。。Told me a month earlier and I will be there.
Oh, if only......
Wow and it looks like a nice enclosure. Oh how I would love to photograph that! I can't, but thanks for the link.
On February 3 (2019), Itanagar Zoo in India posted a photo on Facebook of their marbled cat.

Why zoos in Asia don't link together into breeding plans for rescued animals? Zoos in Europe send individuals of rescued local species like otters, raptors etc into breeding plans, instead of keeping them alone in some small local places which usually receive locally rare animals. In the era of facebook available even in most remote corners of the globe, it should be no problem to immediately exchange information.

Okay, that's just depressing. Flat headed cats are awesome, but not in the hands of some Lunatic who keeps them in their own home! The illegal pet trade is a horrible thing.
This thread has information about some marbled cats in Indonesian zoos: List of felidae in Indonesian zoo
According to a new post in the thread I will link here, there are now marbled cats in England! (Private collection, but still...) Private Collection in Cornwall - ZooChat
Does anyone know if marbled cats are still kept in the Bangladeshi zoo?
Most likely I will be visiting Bangladesh in June this year for work. Does anybody know if the Marbled cats are still kept in Shitesh Babu Zoo or any other zoo in Bangladesh?
Did you end up going? Did you see marbled cat?
Unfortunately not, my business trip was cancellen so didn't go to Bangladesh in the end 
About three weeks ago a hobbyist photographer posted on Facebook a shot of them standing in front of the marbled cat exhibit at Intagar Zoo (India), so apparently it is still there. Unfortunately the exhibit is a mostly barren cement bunker with just one small den with straw.
Is the species incredibly difficult to keep alive in captivity, or is it that in many cases people acquired unhealthy individuals? It seems like flat-headed cat and bay cat also suffer the problems of not surviving past 3-5 years in captivity, though I may be wrong.
