My active cat in small room: Inside or outside in winter? Litter box?

Question

I had to move in small room,one of my cat is very active and in this tiny place can't run and play,so I have to let him out for a walk,but now it's very cold and when he's out he runs and hide somewhere and doesn't come home until it's dark,I started let him out once per 3 days,but in the two inside days he refuses to use the litter box,only urinates in the backyard, nothing more,will that make him constipated,what is better to do,to let him out in the cold or to keep him inside in the winter?

I would keep him inside so he isn't accidentally harmed or injured. You can add in some toys that are interactive (such as a laser pointer) or even add in some furniture such as shelves or a cat tree that will allow him to climb and get more exercise. If he does like to go outside, buying a cat-harness and leash and taking him on supervised outings outside can help him to explore without getting away and potentially being injured.
