Obsessive US guy brought in pet for current home? (5,4)
I have c-n-l -o-t so 'canal boat' would fit but I can't see where 'bo' comes from.

Military's arranged to issue one? (4,4)
I have a-m- l-s- so 'army list' would fit, but if so, why?

Bo
US informal
Used as a friendly form of address.

Cat around Anal Bo

Army List

anagram - Military's minus 'i'

Obsessive = ANAL
American guy (familiar) = BO
Pet = CAT

ARMY LIST is an anagram of military's with one (I) issue (to come out)

Thank you mamya.

I've never heard of 'bo' in that sense but I feel it must be right. 'One' as both definition and indication of what is to be issued from the anagram fodder? Again it works, but I'm not impressed with clues requiring reverse engineering.
