How to print debug message in Angular test?

Edit: this question is totally wrong because Angular DO NOT call http request in unit test. You cannot print the truly response from request. The unit test "fake" the response of the request then put into place. If you come into same question as I do, please read documentation on Angular unit test again.

I want to console.log("my text") or something similar in unittest.

the-cat-api.service.ts

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {HttpClient} from '@angular/common/http';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class TheCatApiService {
  private catApi="05f72f39-87d9-4166-b4f1-6dfb55db1744"
  private REST_API = "https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search?api_key="
  constructor(private httpClient: HttpClient) { }

  getCat(){
    return this.httpClient.get(this.REST_API + this.catApi);
  }
  
}

the-cat-api.service.spec.ts

import { TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { HttpClientTestingModule, HttpTestingController } from '@angular/common/http/testing';
import {HttpClientModule} from '@angular/common/http';
import { TheCatApiService } from './the-cat-api.service';

describe('TheCatApiService', () => {
  let service: TheCatApiService;

  beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [HttpClientTestingModule], 
      providers: [TheCatApiService]
    });
    service = TestBed.inject(TheCatApiService);
  });

  it('should be created', () => {
    expect(service).toBeTruthy();
  });

  it('should return cat', () =>{
    service.getCat().subscribe((data) => {
      console.log("test the cat api ")
      console.log(data)
    })
  })
});

When I run ng test it show

➜  learn-service git:(master) ✗ ng test

I check developer console of chrome (Karma test framework) and see no console log.
