Below the CSS for my default cursor overrides I always use. I added your cursor as an example (can’t test if it works, though), modify them to your needs as required.
/*****************************/
/* Global cursor preferences */
/*****************************/
body { cursor: default; cursor: url('../images/cursor3.png'), auto }
input { cursor: auto } /* Use a custom cursor, except on: */
input[list="datalist"],
input[type="button" ],
input[type="checkbox"],
input[type="radio" ],
input[type="color" ],
input[type="range" ],
input[type="reset" ],
input[type="file" ],
input[type="submit" ],
label:not([for=""]),
a,button,select,keygen { cursor: pointer }
[contenteditable="true"] { cursor: text }
You can use universal selector * to make it work on every :hover element (obviously you will need to just change url for yours):
body *:hover{
cursor: url('https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/9632/happy.png'), auto;
}
body:active *:hover{
cursor: url('https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/9632/sad.png'), auto;
}

So I’ve got two custom mouse cursors that I’d like to keep at all times. The first cursor is a face, and the second is a face with an open mouth, it switches to the second one when the user clicks.
My problem is that when the user hovers over a certain object, like a div class, then the custom cursor disappears and it reverts to the default cursor.
How would I fix this problem?
The code for the cursor is in my CSS document.

if they are the only two cursors you are ever going to use, could be a case for using
