A viverrid. They're distant cat relatives. Civets are probably the most well-known members of this family. Most of them spend their lives in trees and are rarely spotted by humans.
My son likes to burn his microwave popcorn and then leaves his empty stanky bags in the living room when he's done. It smells a lot like cat piss to me so it REALLY bothers me when he does.
So when they said "smell like popcorn" that's where my mind went immediately and I thought, "uh that's not a good thing..."

... depends! how similar they are to red pandas? https://youtu.be/W4RE30l8zDY?t=57

Red Pandas are more closely related to otters and canines. Binturongs are more closely related to hyenas and felines.

Has there ever been an animal that hates scritches?

I mean plenty, but most of the furry ones seem to like it once they realize what’s going on and then want more

It's also called a "bearcat" in English. But Binturong is what it's called by (some of) the people that live in It's native range.

Binturight sounds like the one weakness of a Binturong themed superhero.
