: "Owning a pet can reduce the chances of developing a form of cancer by nearly a third, researchers claim.
Animal lovers were much less likely to develop non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system that affects around 9,000 Britons a year."

And you can't trust cats :) Sorry your wife has this. The cats probably make her feel better somewhat in their snuggly cat moments though, I hope.
