I am so pissed right now. My sister's child, which is often visiting our home keep abu$ing my cat.She is just a three years old kid but she often pick her up when she is resting, but thats not all. When my cat bites her defensively just because she keeps disturbing my cat, she effing step on her stomach. Yes, I know. Thats why I scold her. But then my sister told me to stop scolding her because they're just playing but to me its obvious that she is abu$ing it. Moreover, when she steps on it she even jumps a little. I have been patience just because it was my sister's child. She pulls my cats hand around the house, even pinch her with the toddler grip. I tried to hide my cat in my room but they always comes when i need to rest. I didn't hate that kid but I totally hate her actions. What do you guys think i should do?
what should I do?

Set some boundaries, if they’re crossed keep to them, keeping to them is what makes it a boundary. As the others said separation would be best, I’d like to add supervision on the kid when at your house. Kids can be sneaky when they want to be and kid could search for the cat or the cat finding the kid on accident. If the mistreatment of your cat continues, I recommend not letting the kid in your house anymore if they can’t respect and treat the residents correctly. Perhaps hanging out with your sister and her kid can be done elsewhere? Also if you believe it’s abu$e the way the kid is treating your cat, what your sister says doesn’t matter because it’s YOUR cat in YOUR house, stand firm in what’s okay and not okay in YOUR home.

This is a parenting issue and your sister needs to keep track of her child. If your pet is being treated like that you need to address it with your sister and either gate off areas of the house so your cat can get away from the toddler, or work on teaching the kid about how to be gentle to animals because if the kid does that to someone else's cat or dog it will not end well.

I personally think maybe try to teach the kid, but that's very hard especially when it's a 3 year old so I mainly suggest to talk to your sister so that maybe she can teach the kid since she is the mom and maybe keeping the kid in one place, maybe near the mom would be better. And (sorry if this is rude) maybe that she visits less since you said she visits frequently- Sorry I don't have kids nor do I have a cat!!! This is just my opinion/advice!!!
i've already done that but her mom couldn't even control her :') when she tries to advise her she immediately screams back at her. thats why i am the one that is doing the scolding but she thought i do that because i didn't like her child.

Oh!! Then maybe keeping the kid in one place would be better!!! Like near the TV or in the kitchen with toys so that they stay stimulated and most likely don't feel the need to bother your cat.
