Roger,
I have attached a simple sequence to generate the same output as:
CatMatrix[a_,b_,c_,d_]:=Block[{t1},
t1=Length[a];Join[Table[Flatten[{a[[i]],b[[i]]}],
{i,1,t1}],Table[Flatten[{c[[i]],d[[i]]}],
{i,1,t1}]]].
I do not know what you want to do with this object, but
for many purposes, you may find it easier to simply use
mat={{a,b},{c,d}} and work with this object since it contains
the information to later decompse mat back into {a,b,c,d} after
you have performed any operations.
