Unfortunately it doesn't work when implemented in a simple way because +bundleForClass returns the bundle containing NSCursor. Instead I have to declare an intermediate class that loads the image resource for me - I was just hoping to avoid that extra step but seems not.

Why not just make a subclass of NSCursor and put the accessor methods on that? It's safer than a category since you don't run the risk of colliding with a method name added by another framework/bundle in the same process, or by a future version of NSCursor itself.
