Can't decide if my Annie is a gorgeous DLH or perhaps one mixed with something else?

Hi all, this is Annie! The photo pictured is from when she first started hanging out with us this summer. She adopted us, but very obviously is used to being inside and is litter box trained. Since we started caring for her she has gained a large amount of fluff and has what looks like 2-3 varying lengths of hair going... I didn't even know that was possible. She has an amazing white fluffy undercoat and then a medium gray middle one and maybe a darker gray outer that is the shortest. She has developed a large mane as well. Curiosity is getting to me and I'm wondering what people think. Gorgeous DLH or maybe a mix of something and siberian?

Hello, welcome to the site!
 Annie is an absolutely beautiful girl!  I don't know about breeds, but someone here will definitely know, just wanted to say hi!  Is there white around the ears?  Look forward to seeing you on the forums (and more of Annie)!  I love her name!

She is gorgeous! Perhaps you can post one of her face, it might be easier to tell. However, sometimes with breeds its hard to tell!

Here's some other photos I've found. She has long white fluff coming out of her ears. I'll work on getting one with her winter coat because it's quite fluffy and impressive. Her mane is very evident now. Her name is Annie because she adopted us this summer and was orphaned as far as I could tell. Thus, Little Orphan Annie. :)

Possibly some Maine Coon influence... She is a stunning cat!

Unless you have a certificate that proves her breed it would be hard to tell...but I can say that I have a Siberian and Annie looks a lot like him! He's ginger but features wise :)

Honeybee on my lap, music playing in background
Norwegian forest kitties grow an under and overcoat with their fur-they have tufts of fur out of ears. ragdolls also have fluffy coats. maine coon but they have larger ears. I am guessing Norwegian Forest for sure. I have a fluff ball female cat who is long haired like yours-she is an exotic mix of ragdoll n Norwegian according to the folks at the cat show...she's a mutt but I love her fur. Does your kitty hair get tangled easily? Honeyee's does if I don't brush her every other day which she HATES and bites and scratches unless I use an old toothbrush- haha the things we do for our fluffs, welcome to our corner of the 'net! I love the name Annie.
