Why does async and await not returned a resolved promise outside of the function?

Question

I have an async function called getCat with await being used inside of it. When the console log of the response gets executed inside of its function then it logs a resolved promise expected. But if I call this from another function displayCat and log the result from the entire getCat function then it returns a promise. But the result should be the same at this point so why am I getting two different types of console log responses?

var getCat = async () => {
  const result = await fetch('https://cataas.com/cat')
  console.log('response: ', result);
  return result;
}

var displayCat = () => {
  console.log('getCat() : ', getCat())
}

异步函数隐式返回Promise，因此需要像其他任何一样等待它。
