How to properly overload horzcat and vertcat?

Hi, im having some trouble overloading horzcat/vertcat for my class with 2 properties:
classdef myClass
properties
a
b
end
methods
function obj = myClass(u,v)
obj.a = u;
obj.b = v;
end
function out = horzcat(varargin)
...
end
end
end
As a result of the concatenation i want to achieve just the concatenations of the two proprieties, for example concatenating those objects:
x = myClass(2,3);
y = myClass(4,5);
ConcArray = [x,y];
i would like to have as a result a single object with as properties the concatenation of each property. Basically having the equivalent of:
EquivalentObj = myClass([2,4],[3,5])
I came up with this solution:
function out = horzcat(varargin)
n = length(varargin);
aProp = [];
bProp = [];
for i = 1 : n
var = varargin{i};
aProp = [aProp var.a];
bProp = [bProp var.b];
end
out = myClass(aProp,bProp);
end
but it looks really bad since i couldn't preallocate the concatenating arrays, im using a for loop and in each loop im using standard horzcat recursively.
Any ideas on how to improve that ? Thank you in advance.

I do not see any property data type validation in your constructor, so we must assume that you want to be able to handle inputs of different data types, like
[myClass(2,3), myClass(11, tf([17 0], [1 9]))]
But to handle this you are going to have to define what the output should be. Your question suggests that you would want property a to become [2 11], but [3 tf([17 0], [1 9]))] cannot be directly mixed, and we don't know what you want to have happen in this situation.

This looks more Matlabish, but whether it's better ...
classdef myClass
properties
a@double
b@double
end
methods
function obj = myClass(u,v)
obj.a = u;
obj.b = v;
end
function out = horzcat(varargin)
obj = cat( 2, varargin{:} );
as = [ obj.a ];
bs = [ obj.b ];
out = myClass( as, bs );
end
end
end
Test
%%
x = myClass(2,3);
y = myClass(4,5);
ConcArray = [x,y]
outputs
ConcArray =
myClass with properties:
a: [2 4]
b: [3 5]
>>
and try @Walter's expression
>> [myClass(2,3), myClass(11, tf([17 0], [1 9]))]
Error setting property 'b' of class 'myClass':
Value must be 'double'.
Error in myClass (line 9)
obj.b = v;
"I couldn't preallocate" why not just
n = length(varargin);
aProp = nan(1,n);
bProb = nan(1,n);

I use NaN when preallocating, because if I fail to overwrite all preallocated values NaN will mostly likely quicker make me aware of the problem. Zero and one are often legal values.
