r - Using function "cat" with "replicate" in R

Question

Is there a way how to combine function "cat" with function "replicate" in R?

I want to see number of "loops" R has already made at a particular moment. However, instead of using "for" loop, I prefer to use "replicate". See the simple example below:

 Data <- rnorm(20,20,3)

 # with for loop
 N <- 1000
 outcome <- NULL

 for(i in 1:N){
      Data.boot <- sample(Data, replace=TRUE)
      outcome[i] <- mean(Data.boot)
      cat("\r", i, "of", N)
 }

  #the same but with replicate 
  f <- function() {
  Data.boot <- sample(Data, replace=TRUE)
  outcome <- mean(Data.boot)
  return(outcome)
  }
  replicate(N, f())

Thus, any ideas how to implement function "cat" with "replicate" (as well as other approaches to see a number of how many times the function of interest has been executed with "replicate") would be very appreciated. Thank you!
