Description
At the far end of England, a land of rocks and moorland stretches itself out into a blue-green sea.
Between its high headlands lie tiny sheltering harbours where the fishing boats hide when the winter storms are blowing.
One of these harbours is so small and the entrance between its great stone breakwaters is so narrow that fishermen called it "the Mousehole".
The people who lived in the cottages around the harbour grew fond of the name and they call their village Mousehole to this day.
They say it in the Cornish way, "Mowzel", but you may say it as you choose.
Once there lived in the village a cat whose name was Mowzer.
She had an old cottage with a window overlooking the harbour, an old rocking-chair with patchwork cushions and an old fisherman named Tom.
The Mousehole Cat by Antonia Barber.
Based on the legend of Cornish fisherman Tom Bawcock and the stargazy pie,

thanks Steve! kind of special to get an answer AND a picture! Mowzel it is then. if I had gotten Leya after I knew the story, I would have named her after the village and pronounced it the Cornish way! Maybe it will end up her nickname as she is endless watching the little Chipmunk holes all over the Hollow.
