Why does my cats hair separate into parts?

I don t know if this makes any sense but I can groom my cat and immediately her first separates into hundreds of parts like somebody took a comb and parted her hair hundreds of times all over I don t know if I just never noticed it or if it s a recent change. She s 8 years old and entirely indoor I can literally pressure down and 10 seconds later her fur all pops up spiky again

Update:

Btw sorry for all the typos, I am usually more careful than that but the autocorrect on my phone went crazy.

I wonder if the cold weather could be responsible for her coat? I don't think I overgroom, I only brush her once a week for like 15 minutes. Static Electricity could definitely be the culprit.

    Don't groom too often. Maybe you're removing the under coat. Add humidity into your air.
