In the scene where the boy takes Moocher to the woods to play ball, he is surprised that Moocher has so much energy and knows how to play ball (mistaking him for Liberty, of course). There's a slow-motion scene when the ball is in the air and Moocher jumps up and catches it. Watch the ball just as Moocher catches it, it's just still, not flying or anything, it only moves when Moocher catches it. It's not because it's in slow-motion, see it for yourself!
