Monika Doll mentions it in her thesis ("Haustierhaltung und Schlachtsitten des Mittelalters und der Neuzeit", 2003), and refers to Elisabeth Schmid's "Atlas of animal bones", page 36. I only have excerpts from the bone atlas, so I can't check the reference for you.

Subject: cats being passed off as rabbits
Hello everyone,
Many years ago I had a reference to the practice of leaving the paws on
skinned rabbits, to stop the unscrupulous from passing off skinned cats
as rabbits. I now have no idea where I have put this. All suggestions
for the source of this reference gratefully accepted.
Thanks, Louisa
