In an upcoming campaign I'm going to be playing as a guy named Fizzle Stick, a human Spellthief/Wizard/Spell Sniper. I plan on him picking up Item Familiar ASAP (level 3?). I was talking to my brother, the DM, a bit. At first I was going to make it a ring and call it 'precious', but he said it'd be cooler to be like a necklace. Then I thought it'd be cool to be a gold tooth. Then I thought, "Wait, what if I pretend it's a real familiar?"

Here's my idea: make something which resembles a squirrel (and preferably can move, like a toy), make it my item familiar, somehow cast a spell or something to make it move (and by that I mean my item familiar moves by its own will). How to do this?

I'd have it count as an "Art object". The alternative is a material focus.

The answer to any mundane thing: 0 level spells (you don't use them much anyway). prestidigiation, ghost sound, mage hand...
