which digital voice recorder ?

I want to record cats' purrs on a digital voice recorder and transfer it to a mac and a PC (World's Greatest Cat is very old but has a magnificent purr on him). I tried using my mobile phone but the results were execrable.

I have a limited budget. Say £50 max. I was going to go with a Sony product but believe they are PC compatible only? An American guy I contacted via the web who's done the same thing says to use a voice recorder but he couldn't recomm anything in particular.
As recordable media isn't returnable if you're not satisfied (under the distance selling regs) I have got to get it right.
Any recommendations please?

I thought of using an external mic plugged into the computer, but that raises mobility problems - although it is a laptop.

I'd go with the mic plugged into your laptop approach.

You're not going to get quality recordings for £50, I'm afraid! Unless someone knows different, of course....

How about the Olympus VN-PC range, very easy to use and come with software to download your recordings onto. Currently just under £50 in Argos, but I'm sure you can get one for less if you shop around.

Thanks for the suggestions. A mac fanatic has suggested using iMovie as well. Currently attempting to decode his instructions.
I'll look for the Olympus just in case - cheers.
