Author cat from script and file

Hi,

Is it possible to cat from script and file using a single cat?
I.e.,

cat << EOF | cat - file.app
from script
EOF

Anyway I can do something like,

cat << EOF file.app

or

cat << EOF < file.app

or...?

thanks

cat - file.app << EOF

You can only redirect standard input once per command, but cat can read
from a list of arguments, with the argument '-' representing standard
input.
