So, most of the comments lean toward fake, fake, fake.
However, I'm familiar with what it takes to make a cat blue-eyed, and for high-quality blue eyes, it's two things:
1. The gene for blue eyes. This usually comes with colourpoint or dominant white as a package deal.
However, this will only give you basic crystal blue eyes that lack brown, yellow, or green colouration. This will not be a vibrant blue.
2. The right kind of reflectivity in the eyes, and lots of it.
Breeders of Siamese cats select for these reflection factors. Vibrant, intense blue is a result of reflection, not pigment.
Knowing this, and knowing that the video's creator probably doesn't know this, it's possible this is a normal, non-blue-eyed cat with... a novel blue-violet reflection factor that a Siamese breeder would give their right arm, left leg, and probably attempt forbidden alchemy to get a hold of.
That said, the video really does look like someone made it using green screen technology.
