Is there anyway to `cat` two remote `tail -f` streams via SSH?

I wanted to combine two continuous text streams generated by tail -f into one and watch them in the same screen. Is it possible? Both text streams are line-oriented (e.g. logs), if that helps.

Update: just to make it clear, the two tail -f streams are not on local files but from two remote SSH sessions, e.g. ssh remote-host tail -f file.log
