I moved into a house with a screen door that has a pushbutton latch
mechanism.
Similar to this

I don't need the whole assembly, just the "strike plate" (which is
missing) that catches the latch on the inside when the door closes. We
have a cat and don't want it to push open the screen door and run
outside.
Can anyone tell me the formal name for this piece?
I can't find it at Home Depot or Lowes. Pehaps someone has a
suggestion.

They call it a latch strike and every hardware store or big box store
has them on a bubble card down in Florida
