The traits that I see in my best friend is that he a) acknowledges my faults and then chooses not to let them define me, b) tries to keep me happy even when things aren't going so well, and c) helps me out with even the worst things.
For example, I am being kicked out of my house the day I turn eighteen. I hated the thought of living on my own, and I asked if I could live with him until I get my footing with the whole no-parents-in-the-house-to-help kinda thing. He said yes, knowing that we'd both do our share.
When things don't work so well, he normally gets up, and walks to his house (which is just about three blocks away) and walks back to mine. I do the same thing when I'm at his house. It's just enough time to cool our heads, and we sit down and talk about. If it's so big that that doesn't work, we don't talk for a day, and THEN we settle it. If the response was really really harsh, then I take the time to realize that it might be a touchy subject with him. The reason your friend might have blown up about the cat thing is that she really loves it, and doesn't want it to get spayed or to (hypothetically) die because she sees that as spaying or killing one of her other friends.
In conclusion, a best friend sticks with you no matter the circumstances.

Everyone argues, it's natural and normal. There are WAYS to argue without damaging your relationship, there is knowing when to say "I'm NOT arguing" and walking away, and there is respecting land mines in your relationship that means some topics must be avoided.
And anyone who thinks spaying is immoral needs a serious reality check.

The type of friend that is cool with who you are, and what you do.
It's possible to have a disagreement with them, but you know that it won't mess up your friendship.

someone who is always there for you and will accept your faults. Someone who you may fight with at some point, but never hurt you deeply.

Community News86 Dive into the 3D stocks World!=Princess-of-Shadows
 reports, 22h 31m agoI can't believe so many artists dedicate their efforts and time to create authentic works of art for us to USE freely! In the world of 3D stocks [ most of it unknown to the photomanipulators ] you can find truly inspiring fantasy and surreal elements that could never be captured by a regular camera. And the best part is that most of them come in a transparent background, so we can simply click and drag onto our work. How fun, fast and easy is that? |

What, to you, is a best friend? Does the definition cover a wide range of traits or just a few, a varied level of knowing the person or strictly strong relations? Is it acceptable to have more than one best friend?
I see a best friend as any one or more people who you feel completely at ease with, they accept what you say and how you act and respect you for it, you enjoy each other's company, you can trust them fully and you return these feelings mutually.
But... say hypothetically... you and your 'best friend' disagree, and your friend responds rather harshly. You express how that was unneeded and you didn't mean anything by it, and they try to justify their harshness without really explaining why they were harsh, and it spirals into an argument. They then say why they were harsh after a lot of arguing and stress and frustration, when they could have just said that from the beginning and saved a lot of stress (and after a lot of screaming: "I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE!!").
Say this happens every so often to the point where you start to get paranoid to say anything concerning certain subjects in case they blow up on you.
Would you still say they were a best friend?
I personally have no experience of a best friend who is an absolute saint and have had this experience of being paranoid to say anything to every person I've ever met, because they've all taken what I say out of proportion.
e.g.
"I think you need to find a solution to your cat getting pregnant all the time"
"She's not getting spayed, it's immoral, cutting bits out of her, blah blah, no way"
"I didn't say you had to get her spayed"
"What are you trying to tell me?!"
"That I think she's stressed from popping kittens all the time"
"She's not stressed!"
"I think she is, here's why, why and why"
"I think you're wrong"
... later...
"I didn't say she had mange I said her fur doesn't set when you pull it up"
"DO YOU THINK SPAYING IS OK?!"
"I never said you had to get her--"
"--I'm asking you, do you think spaying is ok?!"
"Where its in the best interests of the cat, e.g. cancer"
"MY CAT DOESN'T HAVE CANCER!"
"There was no need for you to yell at me like that, I didn't say she had cancer"
"Whether or not my cat has cancer is irrelevant and you're just trying to change the subject!" *blows top*
... this person is my best fried and probably the kindest person I know, but it's conversations like these that make me wary of what and when to say things. He admitted he'd reacted like that because he was stressed and that it wasn't my fault.
If he were your best friend, and this happened often, would you stand for it?
