multiple if statements cpp

I don't like having a lot of if-statements. Is there anyway that make an If-statement that allows the int to be equal to multiple numbers and then execute the statement if any one of those numbers are entered?

  #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;

    int main() 
    {
        int year;

        cin>>year;
        //Rat
     if (year==2006) 
     cout<<"The year "<< year <<" is the year of the Rat";

     if (year==1994)
     cout<<"The year "<< year <<" is the year of the Rat";

     if (year==1982)
     cout<<"The year "<< year <<" is the year of the Rat";

     if (year==1970)
     cout<<"The year "<< year <<" is the year of the Rat";
     //Ox
     if (year==)


     //Error message
    if (year<1964)
    cout<<"Please enter a valid number.";

    if (year>2018)
    cout<<"Please enter a valid number.";
        return 0;
    }
