Number two pleased as punch
Of course you could just be pleased, you're very happy about something, you're pleased

you've had some good news and it's made you feel very very happy so much
so you have a big smile on your face like you've been tickled

If you're wearing a big smile because you're very happy then other people might say

I can't purr but you know what I mean. A cat with cream is very happy
And so if you are happy, I might say you look like the cat that got the cream
Just like with most of the other phrases if you are really really really really really happy then you can say
