This is exactly why ideas sound better than actual results because everyone understands them in the way they want and then get upset that it was something totally different. Fortunately even if it was different from what I expected, it still turned out great from totally another aspect.
(even If I would be also pretty interested to read about relationships between narcists psychopaths and sociopaths who instead of loving try to manipulate each other LOL)

Narcists are not that bad, they do care about the attention they just do not care about people from whom they get that attention. narcissism is "doing stings you don't like to impress people you don't care about".

It is like showing your new I phone or doing something with the message to everyone "look what I can do I"
codependency is also a form of narcism except that instead of "look at me" it is "look at my master"

Your story is not about attention but about true love when pet only thinks about the wellbeing of the master without thinking about himself at all.
maybe speaking in psychology terms your character can be borderline he just did not display dark side of that personality

Speaking about names you seem to be always much better than you imagine. You selected perfect name for your character. I could easily imagine and understand who he is from the first line of your story.
Since we don't know who is going to be your new character it is hard to suggest good names that would represent that character.

If your new character is going to be very active and playful even on the dominant side where he will make master do what he wants instead of waiting until his master will do it I would suggest to call him "Spike" if he is going to be cute and pretty passive, good name will be "Fluffy"

I guess you can take some good names from my little pony or "happy tree friends" series they did a pretty good job in naming their characters.
