A former New Mexico shoe salesman didn’t toe the line as a boyfriend.

Talk about a fat cat.

A nervous Californian called cops to report a “mountain lion” slinking around the community — but the big cat turned out to be a 25-pound feral feline nicknamed “Man Face.’’

Man Face “is a real mean cat,’’ he said. “He beats up all the cats in the neighborhood. He’s about four times the size of an average cat.’’

Man Face was caught and neutered.

Cameron, wearing jeans and boots, was near his weekend home in the Oxfordshire countryside when he heard bleating and spotted the stuck ewe and two lambs.

The PM saved the mom but her offspring drowned.
