Pawsitive procrastination

Derived from "positive procrastination". Positive procrastination is when you put off doing an urgent task by doing less urgent activities (such as cleaning, working out, running errands, ect.). Pawsitive procrastination is like positive procrastination, but specifically using pet care/attention activities to avoid work.
