It is appropriate in some situations. There are two ways to use "its": as a possessive or as a contraction. When you use it as a possessive, there is no apostrophe. For example: The dog wants its bone. When you use it as a contraction, you use "it's." For example: It's my cookie. The sentence could also be read as it "It is my cookie;" therefore, "it's" is a contraction in this sentence and requires an apostrophe.
