Beautiful! I've got the route down to 1-2 undos and no reverse controls, but this looks super clean.

I've been speedrunning this game lately, and just recently got this pretty good run:

Notes:

I'm on the downloadable version, so some loading screens are a bit faster. I'd estimate that it saves a total of about 4 to 5 seconds on loading screens throughout the game. If there are any other version differences, I don't know of them; it seems theoretically possible that some stages might be affected by loading blocks more quickly, but I don't know if this actually happens.

2-2: could have been faster with better RNG (the first sheep should not get in the way again after you hit him)
4-1: pretty obvious mistake
6-4: I could've played better here, I wasn't sure how to play around the locations of those climbing saw things.
7-3: completely forgot the route for the beginning of the stage, oops
9-1: forgot how long I was supposed to wait before pushing the block back out, and ended up doing it way too early
9-2: yay RNG
9-3: the end of this stage still confuses me. After you push out the block to kill that one enemy towards the end, I don't know how to consistently get the next set of blocks to load on time.
9-4: note that the undo is intentional, to make the stage load correctly instead of being "broken"

2-2: the sheep is more in my way than not.. :/
6-4: I usually reset so you don't have to deal with the saws, although it does mean more attacks to delay time but it's much safer than risking death at surprise saws from behind.
9-3: This never happens to me (though my beginning of the stage is different), but if I had to guess I'd say it's where you push the two blocks off after the first checkpoint that causes that delay in loading. Just a thought.
9-4: You could do that or at the checkpoint you can just stand/move a little left and right before moving on and it will still load up fine.

Oh my gaaah, I so want to get more into speed running Catherine. This game is very fun and also challenging, so its a good mix to speed run in my book.

There's definitely some levels that can throw me off, due to the level hazards and obstacles. I'll have to give this a try and invest more with this speed run.
