I thought she might be a rag doll or a Siberian because of the way her hair is and her bushy tail.

Thank you
Sooner a Neva Masquerade. Although they are a sister breed with Siberians, but there are some differences.  Among them, for purists in Russia, there is no such thing as a pointed Siberian.  At best they are registered as N.M.

Although in other countries, with a smaller genetical base, they do allow pointed Siberians.

Also, original Siberian is thought to be a tough cat whom manages cold winter nicely.  Thus, no big ears.

While N.M, being in part constructed and more of family girls,  are probably allowed big ears (I cant the exact breed standard, though).

By these reasons, I tend to think on your cat as a ragdoll - look alike.
