[PD] Convert float to string and appending two strings

[Jordan J]

Hello,
     After searching through helpfiles and the pd-list archive I couldn't
find a solution to my problem, which is this:

Say I have a float "5" and a string "cat".  How would I append these two to
make a new string "cat5"?

I could have missed something gravely important in the documentation or
maybe I just used the wrong search terms for the pd-list archive.  Any help
would be appreciated.  Thanks.
