Try this:

Take some ordinary white bread (supermarket stuff will do), pull out the white part from the middle of one slice or perhaps two, and leave the crusts. Fold it a couple of times, into a ball, then press it onto the pencil marks and lift it off again with a rolling motion - side to side or bottom to top. If this lifts off any of the pencil lead (it should), fold the soiled part of the bread into the middle and repeat the process. When the bread dough is getting grey and horrid, get a new piece.

This is a very old-fashioned remedy, let us know if it works.

Actually, I found a mechanical pencil here with a white eraser, and that combined with warm water seems to have done the trick.

Thank you all for your suggestions. The cat will be permitted to live.
