cat command

Dear All

I have two text files File1.txt and File2.txt . I am concatenating the two files and making it as single file Cat_File.txt. Now i need to keep joined file in two different path. that is I need to use cat command only once ,but store joined file in two different locations. Since file size is huge, I trying to avoid second cat or move or copy.

Command used for cat
-----------------------
cat File1.txt File2.txt > /file_path/Cat_File.txt
