This is American slang. It means "to look very smug and satisfied, for reasons you are not saying." It comes from cats trying to look innocent after they have done something bad, like eaten your canary, but being unable to hide their happiness.

The cat is smug and satisfied, having filled her belly with your prize canary. She cares not that you are angry at her, only that her belly is full. Yet she may try to appear innocent so that she can digest said bird in peace without your wrath.
It means, smug, satisfied, self-sought, perhaps bad, yet attempting to appear innocent.
