The first sentence is correct:
"The squirrel, who ran in circles around the circumference of the tree, chattered angrily at the curious cat."
Reason: the clause "who ran in circles around the circumference of the tree" is nonrestrictive (extra information) and should be set off with commas; the other options place commas incorrectly (separating subject and verb or isolating the verb phrase).
