At my house, hook and eye latches are considered a challenge and easily conquered :) A few of my smarter girls have figured out if they hook a paw under the door, and gently rock the door back and forth, it will open, while the dumber* cats watch and wait ;).....I have replaced hook and eyes on my closet doors in my very old house with the slide bolt....when they figure those out, I am just going to put a chain bolt on it or take the dang door off!

I have found some very nice white or brass slide bolts at my local dollar store.

I found some at the hardware store which have a clip end to the hook so that the cats can be foiled if need be...i should try to find the link to those although not sure what they are called...
