Is my cat a Siamese, rag doll, or domestic longhair?

Hello! I have a 6 month old-ish cat that I rescued off a swap page. She was abandoned on a dirt road and I adopted her. We live in south east Georgia. She's really playful, loves to chase small toys, loves to lounge alone and with people. She's a true joy to have around. Here's some pics. I'd love to know what breed she is or what she mostly resembles. Thanks so much!

She does look like a Siamese/lynx mix -- she's got a beautiful face! If that's what she is, her body will likely darken a bit, with stripes. We have a lynx mix and she's a wonderful cat. (She was a little older, about 10 months, when we adopted her, so I'm not sure how light she was at your kitten's age but we've noticed that she's darkened in the year and a half we've had her.)

Wow , she is beautiful ..  I am so glad you rescued her .. I think she definitely looks like she has some Siamese in her  . I am not great at color/coat pattern but I think she is possibly  what they call a Seal Lynx Point or maybe a Tabby .
I agree with your answer.

Observe, lynx point and  tabby and point is the same, just in different associations.

Ie, Lynx = tabby when we talk about pointed cats.

And yes,  I too think she looks like a siamese old type.   Although how recent these ancestors are, we cant really know.  The point gene is weak and recessive if alone, but doubled up it becomes very strong, and gives the individual in question hers almost whole outer appearance.

And thus, she could even be a pointed russian blue...  -  Russian blues born points does have this appearance, as they pop up now and then, because they used soome siameses in the breeding programme way back 60-70 years ago...
