RichieB, I'm just a wannabee, but I've visited TV 3 times, each visit was for a week, so I'm certainly not an expert on animal life in The Villages, but I did not see any predatory animals while I rented in TV. I did see a few very small, harmless geckos or anoles running across the sidewalks to get back into the bushes, but as far as alligators or birds of prey, I did not see any, but while renting I wasn't venturing near bodies of water nor did I bring my cat with me (he is an indoor only cat anyway).

It has been mentioned several times on TOTV to not leave pets unattended in your yard in TV, but I wouldn't leave a pet unattended in my yard in suburban Chicago either. So I wouldn't worry about running into predatory animals in TV unless you venture into a pond. I hope you are able to convince your wife to go on a Lifestyle Preview Visit.
