One of my cats also does this. It's a very distinct vocalization that I only ever hear when I've stayed up too late and seems to mean "Why aren't you in bed already?" If I hear that, I know I've stayed up too long. (And usually, she seems to mainly want me to get into bed so that she can curl up and go to sleep by my feet or on my legs.)

That checks out, yeah. If I stayed up late, mine would sometimes fuss at me till I went to bed, where he could stretch out with his back against my front and watch Youtube with me while I scratched his chin and brisket.

He'd tuck the top of his head under my own chin, and the tip of his tail would just reach my knees. I'm five foot ten - mongrel tabby or no, he was a big cat.
