How to let a Div stick to cursor

Question

I have a script that shows a div on hover and sticks it to the cursor.

$(".picture_holder_thumb").mouseover(function () {
    $(".title", this).show();
});

$(".picture_holder_thumb").mouseout(function () {
    $(".title", this).hide();
});
$(document).bind('mousemove', function (e) {
    $(".title", this).css({
        left: e.pageX,
        top: e.pageY
    });
});

It works, but somehow there's always very much space between the sticky div and the cursor.

This is my Div's CSS:

#img-container .captioning .title {
    width: auto;
    height:auto;
    position: absolute;
    float:left;
    z-index:1;
    display: none;
}

Is there something wrong with my JS? I am thankful for any help!

Here is a nice pure javascript and easy way to make a div stick to the cursor pointer.

document.addEventListener('mousemove', function(ev){
    document.getElementById('acab').style.transform = 'translateY('+(ev.clientY-80)+'px)';
    document.getElementById('acab').style.transform += 'translateX('+(ev.clientX-100)+'px)';            
},false);

#acab {
  position: fixed; /* Floating above */
  transition: transform 0.23s; /* Sticking effect */
  pointer-events: none; /* Allow clicking trough the div */
}
button {cursor: pointer}

<div id="acab">
  <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Anarchist_black_cat.svg/150px-Anarchist_black_cat.svg.png">  </img>
</div>

<!-- A button, to test a mouse click -->
<button onclick="document.body.style.background=['red','green','grey','purple','magenta'][~~(Math.random()*5)]">Test click!</button>
