"If it's buying a new cat (you're talking about), then I'm happy" would better be represented as 新しい猫を買うなら、嬉しい.
"If you buy a new cat, I will become happy" would be 新しい猫を買えば、嬉しくなる。
The first sentence describes the speakers happiness at the prospect of buying a new cat, while the second sentence emphasizes the resulting happiness if a cat is purchased.
