You might be confusing two different sayings; 'grinning like a Cheshire cat' and 'the cat who got the cream'. The cats in both these sayings sound pretty happy, but they are not connected. In Alice in Wonderland, the Cheshire Cat doesn't have any cream.
'Cheshire grin' seems to be a phrase derived directly from the famous grinning Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland. The cat was itself based on the well known phrase 'grin like a Cheshire cat'. So a 'Cheshire grin' is an enormous grin, reminiscent of the Cheshire Cat's.

The Cheshire Cat character was created in 1865 by Lewis Carroll for his novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". The character is known for his distinctive grin and mischievous personality.
In "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," the Cheshire Cat's smile disappears, leaving only its grin behind. This symbolizes the cat's ability to appear and disappear at will, adding to its mysterious and enigmatic nature.
The Cheshire Cat is a cat.
In Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Cheshire Cat can vanish and appear at will, and when Alice first meets it, it does exactly that. This unsettles Alice, who says to it, "I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy." As a result of this request, the Cheshire Cat disappears more slowly, starting with its tail and finishing with its grin.As to why the Cheshire Cat only shows his smile, it might be argued that he only shows his grin to hide his cowardly personality. Another theory is that the grin might represent his trickster personality because he is an anti-hero. This was never proven because the Cheshire Cat never liked to talk about it.
The Cheshire Cat appears in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but the phrase 'grin like a Cheshire Cat' does not appear in that book, nor is it the origin of the term. That phrase first appears in print in the second edition of Francis Grose's Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, from 1778:Cheshire Cat: He grins like a Cheshire cat; said of any one who shows his teeth and gums in laughing.Lewis Carroll's cat is based on the term, not the other way around.
The Cheshire Cat is niether good nor evil. There are no 'good guys' and 'bad guys' in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - there are just 'guys'One of the interesting things about the Alice books is that, even though it takes place is a fantasy world populated by extraordinary creatures, the 'poeple' Alice meets are far more like real people than those seen in the majority of fiction, in that they are not bad or good, they are just people (just like in real life.)
