Hi :) There are a lot of options in Tools - Options - Appearance but i don't think the cursor itself is in there.
One way to play "spot the cursor" is to press the shift key while moving the cursor around as "selects" characters (or entire lines if up/down is used rather than just to and fro). If you use Ctrl and shift it selects entire words at a time. Also most OSes have "Accessibility" options or even something hidden in mouse-settings that can be set to produced moving concentric circles or something homing-in on either the mouse or the cursor. In Gnu&Linux i often add a pair of eyes to the menu-bar / taskbar / panel and they follow my mouse around or flick up at the sky if i move to another monitor. As Jay says it is worth exploring your OS to see if you can change settings system-wide because i don't think LibreOffice has the option internally.
