Kooshi, a seven-year-old mixed breed with a jet-black coat and green eyes, looked ferocious, residents in Rishon Letzion complained to town officials.
The cat's owners were ordered to cradle the animal when using the staircase - or risk having it impounded.
But the cat's owners object to the pet being "singled out" because of its colour and say they may go to court.
A neighbour told Associated Press: "It brings you bad luck, you go in the street, you walk in the street and you see black cat, it [messes] up the whole day - this is very bad, very bad for Karma, for communication, very bad."
Riva Mayer of the Cat Welfare Society said fear of black cats was pervasive in Israel.

I sure hope they dont bulldoze the whole building!
