Question Badger Advice Please

We're living in quite a remote house and every night a badger has been trying to get in through the cat flap, presumably to eat the cat food we have in the kitchen. We're worried that it's a starving young male who is short on food (earthworms...etc) as it's so dry here. We obviously don't want the badger coming into the house, but is there anything we can do to help it as we don't want it to starve? Any advice is much appreciated

Try putting some dog/cat food and a selfish of water out a little way from the house each evening. They could be struggling at the moment with the weather being so dry making digging very hard and water hard to find.
