Dear Nurkasih,
Its ok to share how you feel..and its ok to feel the way you do about your persian pet. My adam is an 'extreme faced' persian too. But before I proceed, I wish to say how happy I am with my adam now. And I am sure, he is very happy to be part of my family too.

But I did....have a little problem with adam the first 3 months he arrived. I went through an ordeal when he had 'runny poo' problem, for 3 consecutive months. That was truly a trying period for me. He pooed 6-7 times a day, and I had to clean his 'immediate area' everytime after he pooed. A lot of time and money spent for him, to make him well again. But thats actually how we started bonding. Me and adam really feel how close we are to each other then and we are even more attached now. I miss adam everytime I have to be away from home now. I really do.

So far, adam does not have any problem eating his meals, be it kibbles or wet food. Yes, he takes longer to finish his portion compared to my 'doll faced' yaya, but I never had to hand feed him.

Teary eyes and runny nose ? Yes, adam does has this problem sometimes , but very mild. He is also very independant. I dont have to clean his eyes and nose. He does that himself and he looks really 'stunning' after grooming. My daughter even calls him 'metrosexual cat' hahahaha

Hence,when I read around the forum, I did get a little confuse..so my questions are..

may I know why and what makes you confuse after reading the forum ? Which part is confusing you ?

Is this pure breed is the outcome of the breeding defect?

this should answer this question

PERSIAN - Origin of breed

The first documented ancestors of the Persian were imported from Persia into Italy in 1620 by Pietro della Valle, and from Turkey into France by Nicholas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc at around the same time[1]. From France they soon reached Britain. The longhaired cats from Persia were interbred with Turkish Angoras[2]. Their appearance then differed greatly from today's standard[3]. Hundreds of years of selective breeding made Persians cobbier cats with drastically shorter muzzle. It's not clear when longhair cats (in general) first appeared, as there are no African Wildcats (believed to be ancestors of domesticated cats) with that kind of fur. There have been claims that the gene responsible for long hair was introduced through hybridization with Pallas cat. Recent research however refutes this theory[4].

Is this one of the other obscure sign of the cruelty of us, the human to the animals?

from my personal experience, the answer is no. My persian is perfectly a happy pet

Is it true that air conditioner can help in helping to control the teary eyes?..

I am not sure about this, but aircon does help to mantain a nice full fluffy furrs, of a persian. I mean they do have a fuller body furrs compared to persians who dont get much aircond. My adam doesnt get aircond 24/7. Maybe 10 hours a day only. Cant afford the TNB bills . Only 'Showcats' must get aircon round the clock , they must look their best all year round so they are ready to strutt and woo the crowd and most importantly win the judges' hearts at the cat shows.

Is it true that by the 8th months the tears will subside?

I do believe any cats will get stronger when they get older. The antibody gets better as they grow.

or is there any other things that I can do to ease his natural condition?

I believe very much in TLC ...give him 100% of tender love and care. Everything should be just fine.

Dear girl,
for your persian's sake, pls hear me out.
You have chosen and decided and now aquired a persian cat. You should be enjoying your life with him. Don't waste your time having all these negative thoughts about persian, their origin and what not. Whatever you have read in the internet should not make you sad and miserable about your persian. Yes, you can feel sorry for him , but dont feel bad about him. Remember your pet feels what you feel. You are making him miserable too. And its not helping both of you.

Cheer up !!! and enjoy life with your pets. They are all beautiful...
And they need a happy mommy too...
