Try : cat $HOME/somefile >> $HOME/anotherfile 1>/dev/null

Can't try it myself at the moment, but may work.

Actually, what you had initially was ok ( cat $HOME/somefile >> $HOME/anotherfile ) - just tested it then.
When you use the `>>` you are directing STDOUT to the second file so the first file won't scroll bye.
