Or their vs they're vs there

Or whose vs who's :rolleyes:

Whose vs who's is a very similar situation. Your other 2 examples are easy to get right because only one version fits the requirements for an apostrophe.

They are owners of their book. The dog is chasing the tail of the dog. The member who is writing is the one whose name begins with C. You are sure to find all your answer on this forum.

Intriguing idea. If we kill off all contractions, would "its" then gain the apostrophe it deserves? I think it would be a bit cruel to kill off its completely.
