"Nest can't resolve dependencies" with NestJS v9 when using InjectModel

Is there an existing issue for this?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

The following error occurs when trying to implement the tutorial's Cat model for Mongo integration: Nest can't resolve dependencies of the CatService (?). Please make sure that the argument CatModel at index [0] is available in the CatModule context.

Minimum reproduction code

https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/cool-silence-cfjplu

Steps to reproduce

go to code sandbox link provided
open a terminal and run yarn start:dev
observe the output error

Code overview below:

app.module:

@Module({
  imports: [
    MongooseModule.forRoot(`mongodb://localhost/db1`, {
      connectionName: 'mydb',
    }),
    CatModule,
  ],
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [AppService, AppResolver],
})
export class AppModule {}

cat module (all code together):

@Module({
  imports: [MongooseModule.forFeature([{ name: Cat.name, schema: CatSchema }], 'mydb')],
  providers: [CatService],
})
export class CatModule {}

export type CatDocument = HydratedDocument<Cat>;

@Schema()
export class Cat {
  @Prop()
  name: string;

  @Prop()
  age: number;

  @Prop()
  breed: string;
}

export const CatSchema = SchemaFactory.createForClass(Cat);

@Injectable()
export class CatService {
  constructor(@InjectModel(Cat.name) private catModel: Model<Cat>) {}
}

Expected behavior

The tutorial should work as expected, no errors should occur during startup

Potential solutions:
- Is CatModule a valid NestJS module?
- If CatModel is a provider, is it part of the current CatModule?
- If CatModel is exported from a separate @Module, is that module imported within CatModule?
  @Module({
    imports: [ /* the Module containing CatModel */ ]
