An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun. The possessive adjective its can be used to modify a noun but it is not capitalized unless it is the first word in the sentence. Also, it would be difficult to have a reason to use the possessive adjective to describe another pronoun (its it?, its them?). Some examples using the possessive adjective its:

.

The puppy wagged its tail.

The wind blew so hard that the tree lost itsleaves.

Its cover is torn, the book is very old.

The possessive pronoun and possessive adjective its should not be confused with it's, the contraction for it is.
