What I heard my grandfather explain : 'Punugu' a highly perfumed substance comes from a specific kind of cat (don't know how it is extracted) and the cat is known as 'punugu poonai ' (poonai-Tamil word for cat).The cat is referred as CIVET CAT (Viverra Civetta). The details and meaning of Civet Cat is given elsewhere (dictionary -online) and can be referred to . A brief description of how it is extracted is also mentioned in it.
