Dead Cat Sucks

As an End Game Item, Dead Cat SUCKS. Because great, I spent the past hour slowly building up my character, increasing the health bar incrementally, and one Slip Up later you're back to square 1, fighting Mother as Azazel with 1 Heart container and no way of surviving other than playing flawlessly. Yay I have 3? More lives of dying much more rapidly than I did the first time. It's a lost cause at that point right? Just R key? (I'm on console so it's a hard reset but yeah)
