Old “Cat Hunting” Post Resurfaces; Cianne Dominguez Responds
CIANNE DOMINGUEZ — The television host addressed an issue involving her father, Johng Florendo, after his old “cat hunting” social media posts resurfaced online. The issue first emerged in 2025, when many people criticized the posts and viewed them as disrespectful toward animals, especially stray cats.
In a message she shared online on April 20, 2026, Cianne explained that the issue had already been handled the previous year. She stated that her father had issued a public apology and acknowledged that his posts were a bad joke. She also expressed regret for any confusion or misunderstanding caused by the situation.
Cianne added that she and her family had already responded to the matter both publicly and privately. She recognized that not everyone may have seen their earlier responses. She also apologized for not being able to reply to each person individually, explaining that they believed the issue had already been resolved. She made it clear that this would be her final statement on the matter and thanked everyone for their understanding.
The issue resurfaced after some social media users shared screenshots of Johng Florendo’s past posts. These included captions referring to “cat hunting” during walks with a dog, which many people found offensive. Some pointed out that such remarks were inappropriate and could be harmful, especially since stray animals already face daily struggles. Others questioned whether the posts were truly meant as jokes and raised concerns about animal safety.
In response, Cianne assured the public that the posts were not meant to be taken seriously. She stated that she personally guarantees that no animals were harmed and expressed respect for the concerns of animal lovers. However, some individuals remained doubtful and continued to call for greater care and respect toward all living beings.
The issue also spread to other posts on Cianne’s social media, including personal ones, where people brought up the controversy again.
