My cat doesn't groom herself but instead pulls out clumps of hair. I can see tiny white specks in her fur. What should I do?

The white specks could be dander (flakes of dead skin) or a parasite such as lice or cheyletiella. The parasites need to be identified by a vet, and you should use an appropriate product to treat them. If the specks are dander, this indicates her skin is in poor condition. Brush her daily to improve the circulation to her skin, and add an Omega fish oil supplement to her diet. Also check there are no knots in her coat, which stop her from grooming down to the skin.
