it*

It's It's is short for it is or it has. This is a 100% rule. It cannot be used for anything else. If you cannot expand it's to it is or it has, then it is wrong. Its Its is like his and her. His is used for a masculine possessor (owner). (These are his pies.) Her is used for feminine possessor. (These are her flowers.) Its is used for neuter possessor. (These are its footprints.)
