Don't feel like a dufus man, I get alot of very crappy results still too, it is really about trial and error, and experimenting with lots of different settings and combinations. Actually, flat black frame "matting" is fabulous for this sort of thing too, because it absorbs the light, and doesn't make a crappy reflection, just a nice soft, dark neutral background so the animal itself stands out.
Cloth can really hold light-colored tint too, just as the T-shirt did in my shot, but I didn't even plan on using it for a "showcase" pic, I just wanted to get a half decent shot to show a buyer what he was getting, but then later saw that when the "vignette" feature was used with the photo, it turned out pretty cool lookin..LOL!
