The squishy cat is a soft, rechargeable silicone kids’ night light sold by National Book Store, for around ₱314 as of August 6, 2026, around ₱88 less than the capybara version.
What does it do well?
The same things as its sibling. The soft silicone body survives being dropped, squeezed, and thrown off a bed, which is what a child’s bedside light actually endures. It doubles as a comfort object, which is most of why these get bought.
Being rechargeable avoids button cells, both the cost of replacing them and the risk of a small child getting hold of one.
Buying from National Book Store means a physical counter to return it to, rather than a marketplace dispute with a seller you can’t reach.
Why is it last in our ranking?
Two small things that add up. Its 4.6 rating across ten owners is the lowest score in either of our lighting clusters. Ten ratings is far too few to conclude anything, so treat it as a mild caution rather than proof of a fault, but when everything else is equal it’s the tiebreaker.
The rest is the standard picture for this category: no runtime, no battery capacity, no brightness figure, and a glow that’s for comfort rather than seeing by.
Is it sulit?
Around ₱314 as of August 6, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It’s the cheaper of the two squishy lights and does exactly the same job, so if your child likes cats this is the better buy of the pair. Against the ₱48 ICON panda it’s harder to justify, unless the rechargeable battery matters to you.
Who should buy it
Buy this if your child wants the cat and you’d rather recharge than replace batteries. It’s a fine choice for a toddler’s bedside. If you’re optimizing for price, the ICON panda costs a fraction; if the animal doesn’t matter, the capybara rates marginally higher.

Prefer the capybara shape and a slightly better score? The squishy capybara night light is the same product for around ₱88 more. Buying purely on price? The ICON panda patting night light costs around ₱48 with more than 400 owner ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is it different from the squishy capybara?
Only the shape and the price, as far as the listings show. Both are soft rechargeable silicone lights sold by National Book Store. This one costs less and rates slightly lower, on a handful of ratings either way.
Is it bright enough to see by?
No. It is a comfort glow for a child's bedside, not a light you can navigate a dark room by. Buy something brighter if you need to actually see where you are walking.
Why does its rating sit lower than the others?
At 4.6 across ten owners it is the lowest score in either of our lighting clusters, but ten ratings is far too few to draw a conclusion from. Treat it as a mild caution rather than evidence of a fault.
Is it rechargeable?
Yes, so there are no button cells to buy or for a small child to get hold of. The battery capacity and runtime are not published.
