"its", along with one or two other possessive forms of pronouns such as "hers" and "ours", is a special case in that, by convention, the possessive form does not have an apostrophe. With other nouns, the apostrophe is always present in the possessive form, so the possessive form and the contracted "is/has" form are written identically.
