Is your kitty white or cream with dark points (ears, nose & feet) If so from your description she maybe a rag doll cat. They allow you to handle them the way you describe hence the name rag doll.
I think she is a Maine Coon mix. One way u can tell if its a maine coon is by the M on its forehead. and she looks slightly different from my friend's maine coon (and more like his domesticated short hair) thats why i say mix....
I am about 100% sure this cat is the Standard Short Hair Tabby. Very popular breed almost every cat owner has a tabby. Here is some information about your friend! Facts-- Tabby Cats are striped, with a variety of patterns. The classic "blotched" tabby (or known as "marbled") pattern is the most common and consists of butterflies and bulls eyes. The "striped" or "mackerel" tabby cat is a series of vertical stripes down the cat's side (resembling the fish). This pattern, which is broken into spots, is referred to as a "spotted" tabby. The tabby markings may look like a series of ticks on the fur, thus the "ticked" tabby, which is almost exclusively associated with the Abyssinian cat.
Tabby colored - ragdoll
the M on the forehead doesn't stand for Maine Coon, because there are Maine Coons without the M. The M stands for tabby, which is the fur being patchy or patterened. She is a tabby, and her coat looks medium length. She looks like a mix, seems hard to tell.
She looks like (and sounds like) a MaineCoon cross. She is very pretty. I have a MaineCoon X and they are really great cats. They are referred to as the 'gentle giants' because they males can reach 20+ lbs.
Nice colours, she's a striking cat. . Her pattern is Brown* Mackerel Tabby and she would be classed as a Domestic Longhair. Her coat is not nearly as long as some but genetically she'd still be a longhair.... does she have a big fluffy tail? sometimes they have longer hair on the tail.) Some people would call her a "medium hair" or "semi-longhair" , just to distinguish from cats with longer coats. Or some longhair cats have a coat like this in summer then longer in winter. "Domestic Longhair" is not actually a breed, it just means no breed / ancestry unknown. Or affectionately known as a "moggy". Which is not really the same thing as a "mutt" dog that is a mix of breeds. Cats aren't like dogs where they mostly either are one breed or a mix of a few breeds. In cats, the pedigreed ones of specific breeds are only around 3%. The vast majority of cats have just mated randomly on their own, and have a mix of genes from the cat population in their part of the world. . In this way cats are almost more like a wild species than many other domesticated animals whose breeding is more controlled by humans. It's also harder to recognize mixes in cats than in dogs because there aren't as many extremes of size and shape. BTW the "M" on the head has nothing to do with Maine Coon. The TV show Cats 101 got that abysmally wrong. The M is on ALL tabbies! and it's NOT on all Maine Coons, just the MCs with tabby coat patterns. Brown Tabby is sometimes called Black Tabby, which is really genetically more accurate since she genetically has the base colour black. But other genes cause the striped pattern with the contrasting lighter shade.
domestic short/long hair ( 97% of cats ) aka no particular breed aka moggy aka mutt aka heinz 57
She isn't any breed at all. She's a "domestic" - a cat of no particular breed just like over 97% of the cats on this entire planet. Colour/pattern is Brown Mackerel Tabby. Cats of particular breeds don't just "happen". They only come from the mating of pedigreed cat to pedigreed cat. Cats were domesticated thousands of years ago and breeds only established in the last hundred or so years. So most cats have NO breeds whatsoever in their history. Add to that the fact breeders tend to sell their kittens altered and never allow crossbreeding so you just don't end up with "mixes" like so many people incorrectly think.
