MATLAB: How to concatenate an arbitrary number (#) of nxm matrices to make a 3D (# by n by m) matrix

cat

Suppose I had a matrix A=[1:3;4:6;7:9], and then have B=cat(3,A,A,A,A) which creates a 3rd dimension and concatenates matrix A with itself 4 times. What I would like is to do this for an arbitrary length in this new dimension without using for loops which are drastically slower than typing out A,A,A.. 100 times. Thanks in advance!

n=4 
A=[1:3;4:6;7:9]  
bsxfun(@times,A,ones(1,1,n))
