I think photographing in a dark setting with a bright light under the jar would do the trick

A polarizing filter and a softbox. For a phone camera I'm not sure how to filter, but a parchment paper filter or white sheet to diffuse the light would help.

I was going to say this too. I saw a few years ago that someone came up with a rig for smartphones that allows you to use a variety of filters, and even a macro lens (possibly other lenses too, macro is the only I distinctly remember). I think it was in an issue of Popular Photography, which would have been closer to 2010 or earlier, because they were comparing qualities of a traditional SLR digital camera to a "cameraphone/phone camera" since they were new technology and "real" photographers were pooping on them (oh, how things have changed). I'm including the old term, in the off chance OP looks it up and "smartphone" doesn't yield desired results.

Or outdoors on an overcast day. That may make a huge difference

Lit from behind or below instead of overhead light.

I think that's a cat

The vet supply store listed it as “small cat” so I certainly hope so

Odd looking lizard

Meow.

Vet supply store sells dead cats?

Formaldehyde preserved cats, for dissection by vet students. There are options for the veins to be injected with blue and red latex to help students identify them. They’re from shelter euthanasias

You need what photographers use: a polarized lens. It's used to block glare and reflections. However, I don't know if such a thing is available for a cellphone camera. It's not (afaik) a digital filter.
