It's*
noun, possessive

The cat has knees. It's knees are powder.

Possessive apostrophes are apostrophes (’) used with the letters at the end of a noun to show ownership over or a close connection with another noun. For example, if you were talking about the tail of your cat, you can add a possessive apostrophe and an s to show which noun is the owner.

Here you go: It's vs its https://www.grammarly.com/blog/commonly-confused-words/its-vs-its/

We both used links from the same source.

I've traditionally used no apostrophe for inanimate objects, like a bus.

The bus has wheels. Its wheels are black.

But when dealing with a gendered, thinking being, use the apostrophe.

Edit: no need for down-votes for a good-faith discission, is there?
