Seeing “it’s” and “its” used incorrectly is one of my top language pet peeves. Another is seeing “lead” (rhymes with fed) used as the past tense of the verb “lead” (rhymes with feed), instead of the correct “led”. Feed/fed, bleed/bled, lead/led. But then there’s read/read (not red). Ah, English!

So "it is" should be "it's"?

Yes. Where as "its fur" has no apostrophe, even though the fur belongs to "it" so it normally should.
