The phrase 'on cloud nine', or 'on cloud number nine', means to be happy, to be on a euphoric high, or even [of late] to be on a drug-induced 'high'.
According to the Muslim and Kabbalist faiths, 7th Heaven is a state of perennial joy and satisfaction - like being in the farthest of the concentric spheres containing the stars, which constitutes the dwelling place of God and the angels ! This Persian expression has found its way into English as well.
...Any standard Dictionary of English Idioms would list all such expressions - along with their history, and meaning.

Generally means that you are excited about something. Like if you won championship with an animal you bred or sport, you are on cloud 9. It's just an "idiom"....
